He would like to have this plant but I do not know what to ask for at a garden store. We live in Florida but I do not know if it is a native plant. Thank you for all help...Liz Attachments: Quote \| Reply \| Report

I will also tell the owner of the plant because she did not know what she had either. I will and now try and find one for myself here in Florida. Thanks so much..Liz Quote \| Reply \| Report
