Outstanding (as always), Stanley, I love the coloring, the crop, the effects, and the bg and framing. Very well done (as usual) , my dear friend, I'm glad to see that you haven't lost your touch or any of the charming way you present floral masterpieces - your dear friend, Allan #699843

Stanley J. Contrades August 11, 2004

Many thanks, Isabel, Dan, Pu, and Allan for your feedback and time to stop and comment, which is always appreciated. This plant is just a couple of feet tall and growing in a very large pot where it will stay for quite some time. There are a number of buds on another branch, and the blossoms are wonderfully fragrant.
Much Aloha,
Stan #699981
