What a fantastic plant! Yes, it was expensive but it's well worth it. It makes a statement wherever it is. Right here, at the back center of an oversized tub, with the Toots Hungo Canoe Adventures, it's at home. I put it on one of those black metal stands APH sells; had to put a rock on the front bottom, and a sculpture on the other part, to keep it DOWN. Neat neat plant. Would buy one again and again. Need one for the greenhouse!
