Charles Grimaldi finally bloomed

7 years ago

I love this plant so much, especially the little tendrils. It grew really fast and bloomed so beautifully. Sadly, the heat has fried all my brug blooms this past week, no matter how much I watered, but I managed to get some pics before the damage.

Since the blooms all burned up, they didn't last long enough to really turn the deep orange like they do when it blooms in the fall and spring. This one is in full afternoon sun, but I have one planted in shade, so I'm waiting to see how it does. The one I had before was in morning sun only, so it never burned. This variety in particular needs even watering, or the bark tends to split, which is how I lost my other one.

In the last pic you can see the tomato plant is missing. I pulled it up and tossed it.

I have gallon sized plants of this still that desperately need to go into the ground. I don't mail plants or cuttings in the summer, but I'll do a local trade for Ecuador Pink or any double orange.




You can see all three colors on this shot; cream when they first open, yellow, then orange.
