Re: Strobilanthes gossypinus and Hakgala Botanic Garden, Sri Lanka

Hi David,
sounds like a heavenly trip, envious here.......I think, although I may be mistaken, that we saw Amherstia nobilis growing on Oahu, Hw...(@ a rare fruit nursery....was it Freddy's?? someone help me).....and it is definitely something to swoon over, which I did.......graciously, of course.
so enjoying your correspondence.........jae

species.  It will have to be another trip, I guess.
At the lower altitude and quite sultry tropical, as I
mentioned before, the Amherstia nobilis, also noted as
one of the rarest and most beautiful flowering trees
in the world, (originally from Burma), are everywhere
in full bloom here.  Unfortunately, I am not sure if
this one can even be successfully grown in South
Florida or Hawaii...  Anyone know if it is grown in

the USA?
