JThompson Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 And I thought it was going to be something like a "Texas Star"! Or perhaps a musket with a muzzle flash. Pretty... JT
dajarrel Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 My wife had me plant two on the back fence a couple of years ago. They have lots of flowers and if you don't cut them back pretty severly each year they grow to be quite large. Ours are 12-15 feet tall. I'll try to post pictures later this afternoon. fwiw dj

It seems to fill all the space between the crepe myrtle, eucalyptis and pine trees! This is a pair of blooms. Note there are several more buds behind them They really are pretty, aren't they. And this is just a B/W of one of the blooms. It seems to take on a whole different look dj
astephenson Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Ours just bloomed day before yesterday...I'll have to snap a photo of it for you guys. This one is a young one; only about a foot tall or so, but the bloom is large.
