    There are three plants in the same pot and braided. Something like they do with Money trees you see in shops over here (crasula ovata?)

      I haven't seen a Crassula ovata braided but we have Pachira aquatica braided here, although mine is not.

      This is a Pachira aquatica in case you are not familiar with it ...

              All very pretty Michael. We don't have so much blooming at the moment, but I enjoy what we have in my secret jungle here in the heat. :smile: My garden is very unusual for Algarve. :biggrin:

                Thank you @Victoria, Maybe it's too dry where you are. I find my garden blooms better in moist weather.

                    Thank you @SuzFlowers, I'm pleased you like them. They remind me of Beryl, we collected them together.

                    I’m sure she will be looking down pleased with your work. That’s a nice way to keep happy memories.

                      @Michael Hewett, Fuschia Magellanica grows wild all over the Isle of Man. There is a long straight road there where they look glorious in full bloom every year. :)
