    Love for calliandra brevipes

    You're only the second site that I've found that carries this species. Just couldn't pass it up and when two I ordered arrived, I couldn't have been more satisfied. I fell in love with this plant while living in Brazil. I really didn't expect to find one. Thanks a ton. Repeat customer for sure.
