| What a great display! They are some fine looking plants. I like the way mamms produce that circle of flowers around the stem. |

| Thanks Guys... Lewis, M. longiflora is a species that were once found in the genus Krainzia (along with M. guezowiana). Charlie, the beautiful "garland" of flowers at the top of these is what got me sucked in too.  CP |

i can see why.  on the topic of krainzia i just can't grow guelzowiana. i think they are either very temperamental or they utterly detest my conditions. i'm going to get another small specimen and graft it. love the flowers. |
