    Hello
    I need help!! I'm trying to help along a friends' plant. He received it as a gift from an elderly friend, and it means a lot to him. Problem is, I can't help it untill I figure out what it is. It's about 10 inches tall, rubery stem (it's just growing up like a tree) with about a dozen leaves on it, above each leaf growth, the blossoms happen, and they're very neat looking blossoms, they sort of look like toucan beaks.
    Thanks
    Courtney
