Logee's is a wonderful institution; they've provided a wide selection of uncommon and wonderful tropical plants for my entire lifetime...and I'm not young! They regularly introduce or reintroduce rare and unusual tropicals that, until recently, you'd otherwise not have had access to. Of course nowadays you can track anything down online. That's such a sea change for those of us who, 20,30,40 years ago coveted plants without any hope of actually obtaining them. It's hard to explain how exciting it was to come upon one of those plants you'd lusted after for years. What a feeling! It is easy to track things down now, but Logee's is still a place where you can see an incredible selection of incredible plants in one place.

Nice blog post
Wow, what a beautiful plant! I have seen it before but I didn;t know that it is called burbidgea. It is definitely a plant that causes people stop-and-stare. You have to be proud of yourself that this plant bloomed. I was when my crown imperial did that too. I have grown it for the first time last year because I got some seeds from https://gardenseedsmarket.com/set-3-orange-crown-imperial-5-pcs-imperial-fritillary-kaisers-crown.html . It is quite unusual plant with bell-shaped flowers, in orange they look perfect!
