Reviews
This plant is one of those that I had to have as soon as I saw it. I did order from another vendor a year ago, but received a very tiny plant that failed to thrive. So excited that Troy is growing these now, and the two I picked up from him are healthy and of good size, with one even in bloom already (see photos). Those jewel tones of blue, purple and turquoise green are drool-worthy; they remind me of the iridescent colors of hummingbirds, and how could you not like that!
