When I was a child, I saw our neighbor had such of this plant grown in a large pot but I’ve had never seen it flowering and I didn’t see it anymore for many years. Over ten years ago, I found this plant, just one plant grew at the edge of a rubber plantation then I took it home. Now I have several pots at home and grow well, baring the flowers in every season.
I am glad you like them. Thank you.

That’s a great story. I imagine that one plant at the edge of the rubber plantation might have been destroyed if you didn’t bring it home. And now you have more. 🙂
