It's been in Canada for a few years but in very small batches and they were not mature plants. Still hard to get but it is a medinilla magnifica. It's a potted plant but you can have it outside out of direct sun. You water it from the bottom. What that means is you place the pot in about a half an inch to an inch of water for 10-20 minutes once a week and don't water it otherwise. It can hold blooms for 3 to 5 months. To get it to reflower it needs temps between 14-18c. for a month or two so night time cool is great in fall. You only fertilize it after it is done blooming. You use orchid fertilizer every 2nd watering until you see the start of buds. it's really an easy plant supposedly. You also can't repot till after it is done flowering.. If anyone sees a Tibouchina, I so want too. Dennis killed mine over the winter. I rarely can get out to a garden center so please - will pay. :-)  I guess in July I will have more time. :-)
