I've wondered about planting so. Perhaps I should. I used to be a tourist guide and the plumbago was one of the plants that amazed the tourists, specially from the UK, the most.

Sterlitzia Mandela's Gold is stunning. (Someday, I would love to try growing a Sterlitzia in a pot; I've loved them since I saw my first one at Kew during my 50th birthday trip to England.)
