This is new to me. Is it normally initially grown as an

and/or house plant? It's odd that there seems to be absolutely
no
reference to it on Google. Any suggestions as to why it doesn't
exist as far as Google is concerned - or any reference book
that
I have to hand?
Ditto. Bob's 'flaming offsprings' is as close as I got to. I'm
being held on tender hooks. Can't wait this evening for a
thorough
search on this misterious plant.
Boggle. Given the number of people who are genuinely confused,
perhaps I should clarify.
Structor = builder, mason, etc.
Liber = free
Flammifer = flame bearer
I thought it very good and particularly liked Mike's description of
the pilosity and lack of chlorophyll. ;-)
Pity to have the gaff blown, really: I was looking forward to more
contributions from urglers' fertile imaginations!
