Thank you.  I guess it won't grow in my climate as a perennial.  It's a
gorgeous plant.

Yours is a very healthy looking specimen.
Typically as many others, it's a houseplant in a
temperate climate but grows as a perennial
shrub in the tropics.

Thank you.  My tenant is a school teacher who works at a plant nursery
summers.... it's her plant.  Too bad it won't endure the Catskill winters.
