Thanks Panther - they're a fascinating little flower. They feel like straw and at the moment my little bush is covered with blooms.

Thanks Marguerite - they are an unusual little flower. I notice the birds don't go near them - strange feel I'd imagine.

I love these plants...they are avialable in many colors here. They are the most incredible feeling flowers I've ever felt. I had this yellow and a burgundy colored plant.

These are just fantastic I agree Delonix. Such a treat for my grandchildren - they just loving feeling this plant. Not only is it such an interesting texture, the flowers just last for so long.

Bernieh:

Yes, I love the flower also...however, the plant doesn't seem to be very long-lived...only a couple of years.
