Jatropha multifida

Oh no, they haven't changed the name, have they?

 

Possibly it appears ... but not to me!

 

My youngsters this morning ...

J multifida ... Spod1 and Spod2 ...




J prodagrica ...


Together ...



I will do J integrrima later when the sun shines on it.

 

I put mine outside during the warm weather and it got attacked by black fly, really bad this year, its going a bit slowly now.

 

Not had that problem just lots of ants trying to empty out the Avocado pot and several others!

 

Yes ants in pots are one of my big problems this year.
Strange because I dont remember any flying ant days last year.

 

J integrrima always looks bright and cheery with the sun shining on her ...

 

Jatropha intergrrima 'Spicy' still blooming ...

 

Losing some leaves but J podagrica and J multifida doing well with the fomer still with a flower stem ...

 

In a way its good to hear that yours is losing leaves as well.

My multifida is looking really leggy now as its been dropping lower leaves, and I was a bit worried.
Not as tall as yours though.

 

I took four leaves off the multifida an two off the podagrica and think another two will have to go. The podariga did this last year.

 

J podagrica with shadow of J multifida ...



J intergerrina last month ...

 

MY multifida still hasn't grown any leaves, it still alive as far as I can tell.

 

Mine is still tall with new leaves developing. So is the second smaller one.

 

I've got a twig with some minute green bits on the end.
