That is so so pretty

Thank you Oliveoil, Nice to SEE you.
I love this plant, I wanted it for my birthday but hubby got me a pink one (not knowing).

Great photo

Thank you Johnjoe. I'm so glad I have this plant again.

Very nice - I have a soft spot for Clerodendrums.

The other random ones in there were taken at the botanic gardens in Oxford.

Oh Meanie the blue is gorgeous. I'd like one of those too. Do you keep them in your conservatory during the winter?

Deffo indoors for the winter!

Alexandramou:

Great close up! This is one of my favorite Clerodendrum viny shrubs.

Mine too Delonix1, really thinking about bringing it indoors for the winter (like Meanie) so it doesn't loose it's leaves.

Are you giving it enough to drink Alex?

Alexandramou:

After a heavy bloom it will loose some of its leaves and go semi-dormant, then it will re-grow and bloom again. This is based on my own personal experience of growing this plant for many years. Only in the deep tropics will this plant bloom and grow very quickly all year. :>)
