I love these thunbergias, they don't vine! They bloom all summer and are a nice purple. The color is much darker than the picture shows.
Thunbergia erecta
can't wait to see mine bloom this year. Last year she was to small.
She will grow and surprise you! I give mine azalea food, she likes it.
So pretty.......mine has not bloomed yet. I am going to fertilize it with azalea food like you suggested.
Very pretty! Kay sent me this one, and it is too small to bloom also, but I am looking forward to the color!
Cala.. I have the erecta as well and it is my fav of the thunbergias... Although mine overwinterd in the tupperware container
Ya know, that Gladware stuff is cheaper MzM!
Frannie, could you take a cutting of that for me and save it? would appreciate it. Thanks.
Barb, is it thunbergia you are wanting? I have one rooted.
Susie, yes. I will have to winter in in gh. But would love one for patio.
Are you coming this way anytime soon?
Bill said I need a vacation and have to come visit, so I'm going to do what he says for once! I hope to come that way within a month, is that too long a time to wait or would you rather I mail it(though my memory is so bad, it may take me a month to mail it)
Susie-Just wait. Maybe you can think of some other goodies to bring. LOL
OK, I'll keep a nice one in a pot for you. I trimmed them back yesterday to shape them up.
oh Susie.....................would you root me one too???? I am sending you a great care package soon. .... said the spider to the fly! Does this one bush?
Yes, it bushes. It should do good for you Kell.
Remember that crinum I promised you? If I don't mail it soon, it's going to be too big to mail!
mine had a bloom yipee!!!!
Thats great Donna!
LOL Susie, it is like the vine I have for you for months. I just fertilized it and thought after why did I do that? LOL Remember that tree with red peacock like blooms you loved? I ran out and bought us both one before I left town. Got back and was glad to see one still half of it alive. LOL. The other totally dead. You are getting it, whether you want it anymore or not. LOL
Yeah, DonnaB!!
:) Donna
Oh Kell, you are as bad as me! I've got to go out and set your crinum back upright, the wind is horrible today, gusts up to 50MPH. Yuck, I saw flowers flying across the yard, my pool is full of tree leaves and grass now.
