    Me too, mine normally fizzle out in August, with the stems reducing in length below that required for vases, but this year, with lots of watering and supplementary liquid feeding, they've been spectacular.

            The shrubby one.

              That is one of the two Thevetia peruvianas, I have just cut it back a bit as it was not looking well ... the other one looks much better ...

                  Wasn't it you who sent me a Chilopsis back in 2008? I was a failure with it! :sad: The leaves are very similar. Beautiful flower.

                    Yes I did send you one but it didn't survive, I thought it would be really good in your climate.
                    Thought maybe you had bought one when I saw that picture.

                      I was a real novice back then. I've seen some seeds ... do you know if they are they quick growers from seed?

                        Better to buy a plant, they seem to have varieties with deeper coloured flowers and possibly more flowers. Probably flower sooner as well.
                        I grew mine from seed a long time ago, I didn't realise that I sent you one so long ago, 2008.

                        I've never managed to strike cuttings but experimented with the black spheres this year and I think I have one rooted.

                            I suddenly realised that I hadn't been taking photos or posting anything this month :doh:

                            This is Baby Annabelle which is still flowering. Mummy Annabelle has finished flowering and been cut back

                                Hi @Jenny namaste Thanks very much. Most of the rest of the garden is going into its winter hibernation. Veggies and fruit are slowing down considerably although some of the apples are going strong and the late plum tree is good (picked my first plums today).

                                The Cyclamen bed should be getting going and give us a lot of colour. :blue thumb:
