Many thanks Zakalwe.. it is indeed a miracle. I used to watch its stars when I was young with amusement at my grandpa's house..unfortunately people stopped planting it thinking that it brings bad luck..

I got it but in Winter here it is unfortunately withering so wanted to know what to do with it..attached are the flowers before they open..another wonderful thing to look at
I saw images on google and saw that there are also more varieties of it. anyhow, thanks again...wonderful find
