These plants are in 8cm pots.  There are just a few.

This is a  plant from madeira, which grows to a large size and is extremely sought after and  handsome . It bears very large sprays of bright pink flowers, and the sprays can be up to 60 cm wide . The stems are bronze tinged when they first sprout (in the second year from seed) and the leaves are finely divided.  The plant is very attractive even without the flowers, but altogether the flowers make it a very handsome specimen indeed.   The plant may flower in its second year, but it may wait for a few years before it flowers.  The plant will die after flowering, but if you leave a flower head to ripen it will self seed for you.
