It is also called Chinese lanterns or Abutilon megapotamicum. They seem quite easy to grow but the flowers tend to drop quite fast. Before it blooms, the bud does look like a lantern.
I am waiting for my bleeding heart plant to flower. It has flowered many times but I did not manage to take a photo of it. A new shoot is growing vigorously but it has not bloomed yet.

Did you notice the new background. I have been meaning to change it. It was time. I was using the same background since I started the blog.
Yes, first thing I noticed was the new background! Nice!
ReplyDeleteI like blooms like this. Unfortunately, while buds are swelling, it's still too cold here for pretty flowers.
I love this flowering plant you have! Isn't it pretty? Alas, I don't have green fingers so I can only admire people who do. :)
ReplyDeleteYour new blog background is refreshing. Nice choice!
Hello Wendy, I love your new look of your blog. I also love your Chinese Lantern plant. Truly beautiful. I wish you could someday have a walk in my gardens. I think you would enjoy it. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteYour Chinese lanterns are very beautiful, they are not easy to grow where I live. Yes I have noticed you have changed your background and that your two kittys are on the other side!
