Sorry about the mess I made of the posting, I had to change computer but I thought it was so funny when I noticed the face, one of my mums old plants.
Some plants disappoint us with not flowering but this one is trying hard to have me keep him. I don't know anything about the plant the nursery name is clear but the plant name is not, anyway it makes me smile if nothing else.

Anthony no mums anymore :'( ;) but if anyone wants to adopt me they can  :D
As you see on this forum I still need plenty of help.


Hans thanks, will have a look and see if I can identify this plant, the label is worn but the first letters that I can make out are Ferrardan.../ebatus and after that the letters are missing, it's very faint so even these might be wrong.

Hi Hans, that does look like it, can't explain were that label came from.

I hope some of the plants that I have found homes for have the correct name, but if not sorry folks.

Alberto I think you are right. I have had a look at the label again it looked as if it started with a F to me and the the last few letters were faint so I couldn't make them out. The second word looked like ebatus to me but now that you have given me the right name I can figure it out.

In the picture it shows male and female flowers is it hard to get to flower.

Thanks for the ID I thought maybe my mum had mixed the labels up.

Diane I love it , now when I look at the plant I shall expect it to speak to me.

You must be really good with computers it takes me all my time to resize and post a picture.
I have emailed it to all my friends, they will love it.

Thanks for making me laugh.
