| Does anyone have any info, I've looked in various garden centres without luck OR does someone have a plant I can take a cutting from. I have a yellow one potted up from a cutting to swap. Thanks |

| I had a beauty [red] in Paphos - but I warn you, if you think the white ones are slow growing, I can tell you that our red one was much slower - in 3 years, in an ideal position, with an automated irrigation nozzle at its base, it remained perfectly healthy, but refused to grow much! Also, the red one, being quite rare, costs 'an arm and a leg'! I never saw any large specimens, so obtaining a cutting would be pretty difficult. |

| The garden centre on the right past Vogue and on the way to Alagadi specialises in different coloured frangipanis...try there, they used to have lots of different varieties. |

| I bought a red one last year from the garden centre in Alsancak. It's opposite Atakara, but up a bit. It didn't cost an arm or a leg though. It's growning lovely and has given me a good show of lowers this year. |

| I had some in my garden in Catalkoy (stripped ones as well) and before I left I gave one small cutting to "skybluesam". I originally bought them over from South Africa where they do grow quick. |

| @ msg 2: Right. The same experience in our garden. Slow growing compared to a white one some metres away. And not as many flowers, the leaves not as nice. Hardly smelling (compared to the white species). |
