Hi C-H's,

But I was wrong. The foliage is very dark and I am far sighted (as 
most of you can infer!), and that makes it hard to distinguish the 
forming flowers, but last night I checked with a hand lens and there 
are two flowers growing in each leaf axil. However I checked various 
sources and they nearly all list "Bolivian rainbow" as C. frutescens. 
What's going on? Are there different species of plants which share 
the same name, or have the original rainbows crossed with other 
species? Would you mind examining your plants and let me know?
Thanks.
