I now added my scion as a spotting, too. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6605006
Funny, a week ago I got a scion of this species from a friend. If you cut one of the stems and put it head down in water it will produce new roots and shoots in almost each of the leaf axilla. That's how it reproduces vegetatively. I will add a picture of it. Thanks for sharing!
This is call presentation..Nice work..!!
Wow! it's super beautiful as the star and the circle flowers complement each other. I love your photo, was a good idea of the angle .
