Absolutely love to get in the garden when I can. Love birds, fish and plants. I live in the heart of Sydney suburbia on an average block of land

The flowers are a gorgeous colour and the centre stripe on the leaves is lovely. 💕💚

@rosegardengirl @emch @jacaranda had this for 4 years now and can't believe how easy and trouble free it is to grow

@columbiariver I am really impressed by this one the photo doesn't do it justice. It has a certain sheen to it like it's been spray painted

Hi @nej - have been given 3 of these plants recently and love them ( love the gorgeous colour of yours more though)2 have been eaten ( almost overnight by something???)noticed yours is in a pot.. I’d prefer to keep mine in a pot but not sure where I can keep them- do you have yours in full sun? Have read they tolerate sun well but I’m concerned they may burn!

Hi Sandra @s1066 I do have some in the ground but because that position was more shade than sun I divided it in winter and planted these in pot as an insurance and gave these ones more sun. Sure enough the potted ones that received more sun flowered better

Thank you @brightcolours it's the first time it's flowered, I've only had it since last May and I'm happy with how it turned out

@nej is the touch of #brown at the tip of the petal sunburn, or is it part of the color of the flower?

@emch I'm not quite sure, this is the first time it's flowered so I'm wondering 🤔 as well

@emch the dark pink brown on the tips is part of the variety hence the name Siam Splash but the little white bits are the ones I'm wondering about
