Trailing Abutilon



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.

  1. Yes, first thing I noticed was the new background! Nice!

    I like blooms like this. Unfortunately, while buds are swelling, it's still too cold here for pretty flowers.

  2. 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. :)

    Your new blog background is refreshing. Nice choice!

  4. Your 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!
