That's a beauty. Are the flowers huge, keeping in proportion to the leaves? And if it should set seeds, would you be interested in a trade?

The flowers have about a 2-inch diameter.

I would definitely be willing to send you some seeds if I ever get any.

I love that giant MW! Wish I could grow it!

I saw my first one at Shady Oaks last time I went...it was wild!!!

Hello, Do you know where I could purchase some seeds or plants? Thank You

I got mine at Butterfly World, outside of Ft Lauderdale, FL.

I had not seen it before.

If I get a ton of seeds, I'll likely offer some up. I don't know much about this plant, though, so not sure about seeds.

You can order them from Aloha Tropicals. Andy carries both the white and purple Crownflowers.

Here is a link that might be useful: Type in Calotropis gigantea in the search field afterwards :)

I'm new to this forum.. 3rd year in this 'yard' and its alive with all sorts of butterflies. I find myself 'hooked'. I go out to work in the yard and always have to come back in for camera for ..just one more picture.. one more variety.

Do they like the giant milkweed as well as the old fashioned milkweed? We have some of the giant in a public garden in town.

thanks
