LAPAGERIA IN FLOWER!

Where are you growing this Arlene and how long have you had it?

Hi Andrew
I bought this from nursery on ebay and it arrived as a mass of tangled leaves and small canes in a sack a couple of months ago.
planted it out in a large pot and tried to stake it up without pulling it apart as I read it doesn't like being moved and it has put out loads of leaves and has now flowered.Has about 6.Is currently climbing up canes.
it is round the front of the house under the porch and out of the weather but suffers a bit from small pink slugs and snails-not sure if they came with it!
It may need to go into the greenhouse over the winter but I have lots of thick fleece.
Didn't expect flowers this year but pleasantly surprised.

Lovely - glad to see it flowering. Reminds me of Chile.

Hi Celandine
glad you like it!hoping for more flowers!

As it is not really hardy, you will need to coddle it through the winter arlene. And yes, it is prone to slug damage. But well done on getting it into flower

Thanks Andrew!
it.s currently with my Wollemi Pine which my husband bought for me for Christmas last year at Kew
I took that into my back garden, potted it into a large pot but found that with all the rain lately,the lower small branches near soil level had yellowed so moved it back where it was so that I can control the watering and put it up on blocks.
At the moment it is light green at the ends and darker green towards the middle but that's the way it grows so fingers crossed that it will be okay.
I am watching the weather but so far damp and mild but trying to sort out what goes where for when it does get cold!I won't let this come to harm.
regards
Arlene

Beautiful
What would we do without ebay ?
