Lavatera arborea

beautiful

Thank you again :)

This is really beautiful!

Thank you ... It was given to us as a cutting by our sadly late neighbour, Edna. I nearly killed it last year after I cut it back to the ground - I walked backwards over it with a lawnmower - tore it almost out of the ground and hacked the base very severely. I was gutted, but strangely it begain to re-shoot in August last year and started to flower in October.

This year - boom! Better than ever.

Great! :o)
I hope much the same thing happens with our fruit salad tree... Mum snapped the trunk (it is a young tree) and we are all hoping we were able to tape it up sufficiently. Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed for you too :) If only we had the climate for a good fruit salad tree here!
