Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Oriana' x 'Rosy Chimes' A really charming small Vireya that lives up to its name. I suppose one could apply discipline and make this plant conform to a small bush shape, but it is more fun to let it go it's own way (within reason of course) opening the smallish red-orange flowers wherever. A good basket plant? of course!
