It's lovely but you can cut it back. Do part one year and the other part another year. That way you will have blooms each year.

Cut it when you are looking at it thinking..."If I lay it down and twist clockwise while turning to the right it will fit under the garage door."

LOL! Thanks! It actually broke a branch this spring in a storm so i have some smaller 'backup' plants rooting right now.

Not sure how to trim more without ruining form but i'll try!

Dave, you are right.. though they are compact they get wider and take lot of space indoors. I have divine that is in 4ft in diameter with blooms now. The fragrance is strong on this one and it sure is a keeper.

Yes, this one has a good fragrance that I can sometimes smell without having to stick my nose into the flower. LOL!

Outstanding, Dave. I agree with KMS. Think like a furniture mover.

What size is your pot? Love your plant. Take some pantyhose and tie branches together enough to get in door but not break branches. They will bend a great deal if you are slow and use something soft and flexible like pantyhose.

I'm just amazed, Dave.. I remember that day so well..

Impressive!!

Can you believe it Laura?

And this is after branches breaking off!

Hows yours doing?

kms: nice-looking Divine! Wide thing!

Dave & Kms, how big are your containters ? ARe they 12 or 14inch?

Kandhi -- at least 14 inches in diameter for mine.

14 x 10.5 is a 7 gallon.

18 x 18 x 18. I figure its somewhere north of 20 gallons.

It's lovely. Is it a Divine? I lived in VA for 60 yrs. Retired to FL. I lived & worked in Richmond. Do you fertilize? I use fish emulsion and they love it and bloom like crazy but growing season is longer than yours and it's a lot hotter here. My Divine have been blooming like crazy and they are in a 2 gallon. Never got around to moving them up. Sure did not stop them from blooming. I've gotten 2 new plants from JJ's called Mini Me. They look just like the Divine but are more compact, dwarf, and bloom more frequently. If you like the Divine, you may want to check on Mimi Me.

Photos for some reason I cannot get any photos to download. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Yes, you have to use the "houzz photo" option, click browse, then drag & drop and click open, then insert.

My Divine in a 2 gallon. I have 3 and need to pot up but have not done it yet. As you can see they bloom, bloom and have not stopped since April. I rooted them last winter so they are only 1 year old.

I have a number of pictures I could have posted but it will not let me post more than 1. This does not work well.

You can do more than one, you just have to do the whole process of "houzz photo" every time.

This issue comes and goes for me.

I posted in the past and this was not the way it was done. I guess I need to practice.

I know other people have had this problem too. It's houzz's system malfunction, not yours.
