Yumiko-san, thank you for always watching. I'm glad. I also like Pentas. Common name/Egyptian Cluster is interesting. The star-shaped flowers are very hardy and have been a staple of summer at my house. It is sensitive to cold weather, so I have been pruning it and moving it indoors since November.
