I love the detail of this flower.

Looks awesome! I moved mine a few weeks ago from a very shady spot (where it didn’t grow nor bloom) to more sun and it looks like it’s dying now.

It's an interesting flower, Shirley. I love the form and the colour.

Delonix, I've had to move mine out of the full sun for now. Our summers are tough and this one is still a baby, so needs a bit of pampering and toughening up.

It looks good, though. I used to have several on the side of my house, I eventually took them out after 4 or 5 years because snails used to eat all the leaves. Luckily, we don’t have any snails now.

I've only had one before but it gave up after being destroyed by hungry wallabies a few years ago. I'm trying again but keeping this one in a spot out in my courtyard garden rather than in one of the more exposed garden areas where the wallabies roam.

Wow! I guess they’re good plants for animals and snails. 😂
