Clerodendron', which is widely grown in the warmer parts of the US..
It's a very handsome thing, needing very bright conditions to do well
and it's a fast grower needing plenty or root room so it's not ideal
as a 'pot plant'.

Bless you Dave, I just did a Google and came up with the same thing,
it's nice to know when an expert's view accords with mine, it doesn't
happen often! *I wonder if I could grow it in a planting bed in a
heated garden room or conservatory?

He's a minor botanical miracle. *Or maybe that should be a major one!
David, I'd like to know where to find it?

Our Dave is a major botanical man. *I found it in "Ann's Tropics".
Sorry, I forget the url, just type in Ann's do dah.

Judith

Ah, sorry. *I meant to buy it. *It would do very well in one of our
greenhouses in which things are actually planted. *David's knowledge is
encyclopaedic and his memory for plant names is awesome!

Tell me about it!!!!! *I would marry Dave if I wasn't married
already. *We, not me and Dave but my husband and I have talked about
buying a place further South as I really have a problem with the
winters here, then I will bend Dave's ear about plants for a warmer
climate.

Judith

Ah. *Then what you need is Dave's advice at Jardins Sec. *;-))

Eh!! Dry gardens, is there such a group? I'll leave it until my Lord
and Master actually views property there, although he did look at some
at an Estate Agent's in Provence, so maybe there is some hope yet :-)
