My Mandevilla has lots of buds and flowers. It blooms heavily most of the year here in San Diego, CA. It's also widely used as a shrub or vine in the landscape here. Soon my plant will be in full bloom. Photo taken Jan. 4, 2012.

It's not unusual for them to be in bloom all year. However, the heaviest bloom tends tends to be in summer. (although, I've seen very heavy flowering here in winter, also).

There's many hybrids of what's called M. 'Red Ridding Hood'. They're all suppose to be the same, however, they're not. :>) There's also many, many hybrids...when you go to a nursery here you see about 20+ varieties.

Thanks! Good luck with the cuttings!
I'm glad I don't have the parrot problems, even though, we've got a big feral parrot population my neighborhood, now. Parrots have been taking over San Diego, their populations have exploded in the last 5 years.

The parrots here tend to be in huge flocks of 30 - 50. I think the only predators may be hawks...not sure, though.
I've seen the large red-tail hawks kill other birds.

Lovely...both of mine have been in flower on and off. Not in full bloom though. One of the plant has seed pods....
