Where did you take the picture or where is the flower from (e.g., growing in a garden or in a store-bought bouquet)? Do you have pictures of the leaves?

bboy, a friend of mine purchased this tree as M insignis from the country side. It obviously is not. The International fame may create devastation to the wild magnolias because local farmers may see them as a source of money. The same thing occurred when Hawaiian honey creepers became collectorÂs items, which led to rapid extinction.

Esh, I apologize. After posting this I completely forgot it, forgot to protect the green seed pods from the deer, forgot to harvest. Today I remembered. Apparently as the pods ripen they become less enticing to the deer, though, so there were a number left, and instead of the handful I was praying would be left, I'm pouring out hundreds of little flat seeds from each pod, picking them off my sweater and sweeping them up off the floor, helping to explain their gentle proliferation around outside so far. Although similar to formosanum in general, I don't think that can be it because I would have recognized that name when I got it and wouldn't be recalling it as some obscure species. Also, although lovely, it doesn't exactly knock a nice Formosa out of the ballpark, so I don't think someone would have been spreading an inferior selection with Vince Dooley's name attached to it. He's acquainted with a lot of plant collectors, too, and its route to me was through plant people. As is obvious, though, my memory is letting me down these days. In any case, thanks very much for answering. If anyone wants seed of an unidentified lily that is perfectly happy here in Georgia and prone to surprising with flowers waving overhead from unexpected places, just let me know. I have plenty of seed; and, although I can't provide the identity, I also didn't find any lilies on a Georgia invasive plants list.

Hi jsscshr, I was given a similar houseplant -- pink stem, smaller green leaves -- I love it, it's so sweet, but -- I think I'm failing to take care of it! What are you doing for watering and light exposure? Many stems of mine have died and I don't want it to die completely! Thanks!
