The Dominican Bellflower (Cubanola domingensis)
is a slow-growing tree has long, fragrant, trumpet-shaped greenish flowers. During the warmer months it produces many greenish bell-shaped flowers that
can be fragrant at night.
Dominican Bellflower is in the Gardenia family, not related
to the Angel's Trumpet.
Spectacular Dominican Bellflower, aka Campanita Criolla, is considered an
extremely rare specimen plant. This plant recommended for your green house, tropical sun room or outdoors zone 10+.
It does not tolerate frost and does well in 1-5 gal containers.
Cubanola domingensis is an evergreen shrub, with shiny deep green leaves and
approximate 10 inch long tubular, very fragrant, crème colored flowers with a slight green tint.
If planted outdoors, this plant
will need lots of water during the summer months, but during winter, just enough water to keep the roots from drying out. This
beauty needs well draining soil and does not tolerate "wet feet".
Perfect for the tropical or
rare plant collector.

A slow growing small tree that
produces off-white, greenish, trumpet, fragrant flowers. Fragrance is
somewhat like warm chocolate.
Cubanola is similar and closely related
Portlandia. Lately scientists decided to change name Cubanola to Portlandia.
The plant prefers filtered light, but can be grown in full sun, too - this
way it will flower more profusely but leaves will be smaller.
Leaves are
silvery-green and shiny. Make sure to water regularly but do not over water,
soil must be loose and well-drained. Initially the shrub grows on a tall single stem so it has the look of
a standard or lollipop. Gradually, with age, it fills out and becomes more
shrub-like.
In its native habitat,
Portlandia does well in alkaline
soils. Cold sensitive, it should be planted with protection from
winter winds. Cold may cause leaves to drop and severe cold may knock it
back to the ground, but it will spring back.
While it can be grown in a
container, it flowers better if it is in the ground.

Cubanola domingensis is another
Caribbean beauty. Although not very common in cultivation, it is
rare in any collection than its relatives Portlandia.
Endemic to the
Dominican Republic where it grows in the north and the east parts of the
country. In it's native habitat, it will be basking in full sun near the beach as
well as stretching out in the shade of humid lowland forest on limestone
outcroppings.
It's growth habit is that of a spreading shrub up to 5ft tall, wider
than it is tall. Leaves are ovate, up to 6 inches long, leathery, deeply-veined,
glossy dark green, and lighter-colored below.
The flowers are completely
pendent, highly fragrant, 8" long tubular, white or cream with triangular
lobes.

Payment
We
accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only acceptable for
in-person payments and cash-on-delivery (COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the
mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN
BE USED. Multiple paypal payments are NOT eligible for
discounts.
We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because
of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This can only be
done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your
items will be shipped the following week and lose the combined discount opportunity.
Non-paying bidders may receive negative feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to
eBay.
COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL
SHIPPING is not included in this offer.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS on a case by case
basis.
We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same paypal payment.
This policy is good for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY.
Payment must be received
within 7 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling
charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and
Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total
Shipping and Handling charges.
As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges
individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the
discount (i.e.: additional item $7.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same
items rather than a varied selection. S/H includes postage, USDA certification and inspection,
proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I can't really change any
of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount much as each
different species requires it's own prep, packing, then at USDA each has to be
unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last
piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It
takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we
drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post
Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.
For this reason uninsurable.
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it.
Please have potting media and a container prepared for your plant
before it arrives. Shipping can be stressful on a plant, and any
mistakes that you make upon arrival can stress the plant further,
which is not good. Proper care is critical upon arrival. It is your
responsibility to know how to care for the plant.
Not every plant that I order through
the mail survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I
order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there
is no way to know what kind of conditions it will endure in the trip
to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered
to your door. Live arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to
you.
Please Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it
arrived damaged. From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from
delivery confirmation to make any claim.
|
All claims need to be supported with
Photos of the damaged plant(s) as packed/unpacked, the box if damaged,
the packing materials and any documents. I am very reasonable and
understanding, anything can happen to small plants in transit.
The expense to send it to you is most
of your payment. To send any replacement(s), I try to piggy back with
your next order.
Replacement is not an option for
CUSTOMS SEIZURE.
ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA
CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S.- USDA and USPS fees are included in the actual cost of shipping and
Handling.
Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my
detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any reason really because I
will block you from any further purchases. I ship items the best and least expensive
option. These are coming from Hawaii. The only
thing inexpensive here in Hawaii are my items!! I do ship all my items
promptly via best method--if you feel like the combined shipping fee is
wrong, please wait to be invoiced and check back with me-I value your
business and will work diligently to keep you satisfied. I am very
generous and reasonable with reasonable people, just ask.

Highest Quality
Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised.
Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at
seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements,
refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such
as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers,
weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather
conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as
temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These
factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and
risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform
properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
