    Thanks , I'm still stunned at the tidiness of your allotment, its immaculate.
    One reason you rarely see long shots of anything in my garden, just too much rubbish lying around.:biggrin:

        I am really surprised, I have two Hibiscus Kiss of Death up and a third about to pop out of its seed. Not bad out of five ... so far! :smile:

        That is Hibiscus sabdariffa on the left in the Bonsai dish. :rolleyespink:

          Another yellow, unknown but similar to salignus with a longer brush but sparse flowers.

                  @pete your cardiocrinum is looking much better than mine - my leaves are tattered from slugs! Your leucodendron is looking great. What do you feed it? I have been using liquid seaweed on mine when I remember.
                  @Victoria do those seed raised hibiscus come true to colour? Kiss of Death looks amazing

                    Hi @CarolineL , to be honest I'm scared to feed the Leucospermum as I've heard stories of them not liking phosphates, I did give it a sprinkling of dried blood last year and that made it come up a nice green colour and it has had some cold tea;).

                    The Cardiocrinum should have been potted on a bit more, but I was lazy last year and left it in same pot as the year before.

                        I might put a few plants of some kind in the post Michael.
                        I think you have a few empty spaces there. :roflol:

                          I don't know Caroline as I have only done them from cuttings before except for H Ice Cream which turned out to be H triionum. much to my dismay. I now have five out of five Kiss of Death germinated so I can't wait to see results but they are slow to grow/flower. My six in the ground I bought as shrubs as long ago as 2008.
