Medinilla magnifica at my house

[Jlie]

I ran into this beauty at a local garden center and kinda lost my marbles. It's really trés magnificent. A native of the Philippines, lover of humidity and epiphytic. I hope I can make it happy here.

And now I am officially out of budget. No new plants til spring! I'd be smart to stop visiting this forums until then too, lol, but we know THAT's not gonna happen.

I saw one of those at my local garden center. I thought it was really pretty, but it wasn't tagged and I definitely didn't have the room for it, so I passed on it. Now that I know what it is called, I might have to keep this in the back of my mind for when I get my greenhouse (someday, maybe). Yours is beautiful, congratulations on such a pretty plant!

Stunning, stunning plant! I've seen one of those before Christmas, and came THIS close to buying one - instead came away with 3 more oncs.

Keep us updated on it's care/culture habits - wish you tons of luck!! from what I've read their care is very close to orchids
