My Forest Bell Bush is almost in full bloom now. This is one beautiful flowering shrub/tree with very dark forest-green leaves. It's native to forests and along streams in the Eastern Cape, Kwazulu Natal, Swaziland and Northern Province of South Africa. Photo taken Jan. 14, 2011.

Of course, I'm trying to make you jealous! LOL! :>) Just kidding. However, we've had pretty much spring to summer-like temps here for almost 3 weeks. Many plants are growing extremely fast after all the rains we had last month.
This shrub/tree is so super easy to grow...it also roots very easily from cuttings.

Thanks! If you want a cutting...maybe we can trade plants? Some cuttings for a piece of your gigantic, beautiful Dendrobium grandiflorum (speciosum) orchid in your backyard? ...maybe? lol! :>)
