Beautiful shot! : > )
Megaskepasma erythrochlamys - Brazilian Red Cloak is one of my favorite flowering shrubs. I have 3 large shrubs in my front yard. One of which I've had for more than 15 years (the mother plant)...it's been moved house to house with me over the many years. I have sold hundreds of cutting-grown plants over the years also. It's the easiest plant to grow from semi-hardwood cuttings. Just stick a cutting in moist soil and they root within about 2 weeks.

Thank you Balcony, as you shall have guessed I'm asking for cutings to try grow this on my balcony... lol!!!
Hi there Bonkers.... I shall take more pictures tomorrow, unfortunatelly last sunday i worked all day and couldnt stop long enough for photos...
Thank you GT :) I'll send the comments to Fernando. He told me today that they saved this plant from the Zoo and it is the first blooming since it was transplanted.

Yes, they are super easy from cuttings! : > ) They should be semi-hardwood cuttings though.
My very large shrub which is more than 10 feet / 3.1 meters tall and about 15 feet/ 4.6 meters wide is going to be cut back drastically in the next couple of days. I will start several cuttings from branches from this major cut back.

Check out my cutting grown Brazilian Red Cloak plant which I've posted. I sold this posted plant over a year ago.
