I purchased 5 of these this year , They are very hard to find . I hope and pray that they come back next year otherwise I have made a very expensive mistake. This will be my first year growing them but I have wanted them for years, Ever since I saw my friend Elissas plant growing in San Antonio . She called it a jammy mouth . I am only about an hour and a half away from San Antonio so I hope it will make it here through the winter as it does there. I will post details and pictures as the season progresses.

This plant is relatively rare. The flowers look like 1-2 inch hummingbirds with their wings swept back or, from the front, like rabbits ears. They are full of and drip nectar. Mine is new from cuttings and is just beginning to bloom.
