Lotus berthelotti

Gorgeous!!

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

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

Thanks Meanie

stunning,

that's really quite nice Meanie..

Thanks guys!
Only "quite" nice Surreylad!!!!

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

I've never been able to get them to set seed Surreylad.....

Why thank you Milky!

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.

Mine has been in flower today Meanie , I took a photo but it's nowhere near is good as yours so I deleted it ;o)

Don't be so soft! It's yours - show it off!!!!

I'll try to take a better photo tomorrow Meanie Lol....
