Hi all,I saw this plant at Logee's greenhouse years ago and never found out what it is but I sure would like to grow it.

Thanks Jan
Can you help me with a ID?
Is that Clerodendrum speciosissimum.

That's it! Thanks so much for your help.It's a little out of my price range but I can admire it from afar ^_^

Like most clerodendrons, they multiply like crazy. I bet someone has some to trade or sell you. If you can't find some locally, Almost Eden Nursery in LA has them.

You might also contact some of the people who say they have some for trade or postage on the PlantFiles page cited above.
I have this plant too. I bought it in Charleston last summer and brought back to Jacksonville, FL. This picture was taken today. It is one of my favorite plants. It blooms all summer and went thru this horrible winter we had here. I hope mine does multiply as Ardesia said because I can't find it anywhere here. I would love for it to fill the area it is planted in.
Salsera, do you ever go to Hagan's ace hardware on San Jose Blvd. near Julington Creek? My son lived near them and whenever I visited I had to stop and drool over their tropicals.
Ardesia, I haven't been there in awhile. I do remember though that they do carry nice plants. Thank you for reminding me about them. I may be heading out that way this weekend so hopefully will have time to stop and drool.............:-)
