It is a greenleafed plant at the end of the leaves they have little parrot becks in red and yellow and it can grow quite tall? Thank you.

I do have a picture but i'm not sure how to post it on the net. Or are we not allowed to do that? bbbbbbbbb "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens". Posts: 12383 | From: Manchester.

Member # 3834 posted                       Hello Weezie13 My mother has this plant, and she wanted to know the name of it. She got it from a cutting. Now it is nearly higher than me. This year it had hundreds of parrot beaks on it. It is very unsual isn't it? and it is very easy to look after, although it does not like to be too warm. bbbbbbbbb "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens". Posts: 12383 | From: Manchester.
