The russian..

I'd heard about the Russian - a lady with a garden centre - given that the term 'mall' is used rather liberally for a very small shopping centre I was expecting a few plant seedlings in plastic bags or rather elderly plants in cracked pots as is the norm here.

I was pleasantly surprised at the oasis of green and calm hidden behind an unassuming gate in a Kigali suburb.

She has a range of unusual tropical plants which she imports and then cultivates here and sells at almost European prices. I bought the below stunning shrub - which I unfortunately don't kwow the name of. Any suggestions welcome.
