Barry, My Grandmother planted one in 1961 in Gautier, Ms. We have thousands down here and some of them get large. I remember several years ago there was a blight of some type that infected them. But over the years they have come back. I still enjoy the blooms even though they were brought here to the U.S. from Asia and the Middle East. Larry
