For Amy Lorapetalum Fire Dance.....

I like this DD

Well done for keeping it going! I lost mine this year . . . should have protected it :(

Yes it's the same Angela ,it is very dark ,I have noticed since you mentioned it that the leaves under cover of the other leaves at the bottom of the plant are darker on mine ,I wonder if your plant had been kept in a darker enviroment before you bought it , how long have you had it ?

About 4 months, but I will check. Sheila this is a new plant, so it has not had a winter here as yet!! just potted it on, and it is flowering away nicely.

They are worth cherishing Angela :))

Perhaps they lighten up with age Angela I bought mine last year !

Have looked at some of the images on the web and some are almost black and some brown.......interesting.

It is isn't it ! it might be that yours is as it should be and mine is not !! or .. both are alive and well :o))
