Thanks folks.now I have a name for the plant I brought back from Gran
canaria. grew about 15 ft last year but no flowers, kept in 2 Gall pot.
Any ideas?

It needs a LOT of sun. We grow ours in those Ali Baba style pots, keep them
in one of the glasshouses until mid or late May and then bring them out. If
we have a sunny spring, they do wonderfully, if we don't they sulk and
flower reluctantly, if at all, much later in the summer.
