    • I literally freaked with delight when I saw this beauty bloom in his garden. A great friend, years ago gave me a slice of his Spigelia. Bloomed in garden for years but this year nothing It didn't even come up this year. I really need another one. This plant is like none other, so stunning! Send one to me if you so wish, I guarantee I will take care of it, love it, admire it, be SO happy to have another one!! Please and thank you!
