I found this plant in my local garden centre last week. I had one given to me back in 1998; but, the flowers were quite a bit smaller. I guess with selective breeding, the modern hybrids available nowadays have much larger flowers. They grow as a small tropical shrub (up to 3' tall) and they bloom continuously for years. The foliage is a rich, glossy, dark green and looks a bit like the beautiful leaves of Coffee arabica. It's a nice plant even without the flowers; but, with the blooms, it's a winner. Plus, it's got numerous new inflorescences at various stages of maturity coming up.
