    Hi, I went to a sale at an old man's garden, he collected unusual and rare plants but was finding it was all too much for him now...so I thought I could help him out with that problem by rehousing some of the plants[in fact I was first there and in the front row!]

    I love coloured foliage and this draceana caught my eye.It is a Pleomele Goldiana, insignificant flower, like most draceanas but arent the leaves beautiful?
