Beautiful, I could not find any this year. Do you grow from seed?

9 Jun, 2011

 

I'm afraid that I cheat and buy them as plugs Drc, but only ever from small independent nurseries.

Lol, i do think it's unusual enough to give it a try next year Meanie if i can find seed that is, very hard to come by...

OOOOH OOOOOH OOOOOH......Meanie......its so pretty

Meanie:

It's looking good! This plant is so widely grown here in CA. because it's so extremely drought tolerant.

yes i've heard they are difficult to get seed from Meanie..

Delonix - isn't it bizarre! Being a Canary Isle native they should be drought tolerant, yet to get them to bloom well I must keep them well watered.
Surreylad - last year I had four seed pods, but they all dropped off in one night!

How Odd,

Meanie:

I believe if it's grown in a pot, it does need more water. In the ground it doesn't seem to need any water, once established.
