Member # 3834 posted                       Hello Amy R. No I am sorry this is not the one, but it is similar. This has a Parrot shaped beak at the end which is Red&Yellow. 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? * * * * "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens". Plants: 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. * * * * "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens". Plants: 12383 | From: Manchester.
