Here's a cutting of Brick Red I took in January of this year. It's growing in a 9-litre bucket, although the roots have spread thru the drainage holes and into the ground. I placed it here under the canopy of other trees/shrubs to protect it from the occasional frosty night we get here, and it's just flowered now at over 2 metres tall, reaching for the sun.
It's been overcast all day, which is probably why the flower is still open at 5pm.
Correction: this is Abbey's Tangerine.
