  1. That’s a beautiful plant! The flowers are gorgeous and I love the leaves, too – very striking with those ribs and the glossy green color.

    I’ve had the same experience propagating native plants in this region. They’re finicky under cultivation, even though out in the wild, they find their niche and do just fine with no help from a gardener at all. The literature exhorts us to match their placement and culture to their native preferences – some like to grow in sandy soil, with occasional watering, others prefer deep loam and shade – but I’ve found that’s not an exact formula for success.

    I’ve killed quite a few natives, I think by overwatering, more than anything. You’ve done well with yours!
