Hi Everyone!
Hope you all had a nice Veterans Day and that you are fortunate enough to have today off from work.

I have a picture today of a plant that has been a pain for me to grow and maintain. It's a Butterfly Stripe, Cristia obcordata. It's the second plant I have had. The first was a cutting from Val. In this picture it is blooming, which means...seeds will be forthcoming!
They are easy to grow from seeds, at least I hope they are. My other butterfly wing plant is very easy to grow from seed so I hope this one is too. At any rate, this is the first one of this var. that has flowered for me. It's five branches all have buds on the end.
