Wow. what a gift, lucky you,

What a fantastic gift Alex .. he knew that would please you :o)

Rather nice , Alex , he has good taste .
My son spent a week in Corfu recently , north of Corfu town , they loved it , and the weather was very good too .

Thanks Yorkshire and Amy. He knew I didn't have this one so he bought it for me. That was sooo nice of him!

He's off to school in Ioannina (mainland).....going to be a patisserie/baker. Already I see a good change in him. He comes home every weekend....funny boy.

Thanks Driad.

Good thing your son isn't here now. We've had two storms this week....they were bad.

Its a beauty love the leaves too.

Thanks Sixpence. ;o)

Your welcome Alexandramc

Very nice! I have some growing under the large Jacaranda in the front yard. It's such an easy plant to grow.

It's lovely....the little purple/blue flowers are showing today....new picture soon. ;o)))

Yes, it a very nice plant!

Here's mine from last fall at the base of the Jacaranda tree:
