This African tulip tree is a very good bloomer. It blooms most of the year. Back in the last long drought it flowered for fours straight, which is extremely unusual. Photo taken January 24, 2025.

This is only one of many. This one will have to be cut back soon.
I used to grow several Acalypha in Fremont. They grew very well. In winter they would loose about 40 percent of their leaves and come back fast and strong in spring.

The Acalypha looks great. Just not see in local nurseries.
