Cavendishia grandifolia

[Tindomul]

Hi all,

In bloom last month and probably this month too at the New York Botanical Gardens. This is a truly spectacular plant which must measure several yards in width as it does measure 2-3 yards in pendulus growths. On the stems are leaves that are over a foot long but no very wide. And when in bloom, you get this:

This is another tropical blueberry from the neotropics. I love this family (Ericaceae).
