Leonotis leonurus

#leonotis-leonurus Another late flowerer 🧡

Most unusual Jules. Is it hardy?

@joanboston No not hardy but I only keep it in a cold greenhouse over winter and plant it out in its pot end of May. I’ve had it a few years now

#leonotis-leonurus #macro 🧡🧡🧡

Love love love this!!!💘😍

Me too @ShelleySnyder it's such a vibrant colour

I love the color and how unusual these are!💘😍

If I can get seeds off it, I'll send you some @ShelleySnyder

How sweet of you Julie!💘😍

Oh plant envy. Mine didn’t come back this year @vec 🧡🧡🧡

They're not hardy @suerichards Mine gets dug up and put in the heated greenhouse... I'm dreading the big dig up and pot up as everything is so much bigger this year 😕

Awe thank you so much hun my seeds came for this this morning cheered me up no end after a crap morning, I will look forward to sowing them next year 😘😘😘

You're very welcome 😘The seeds are miniscule hence me leaving them in the husks 😉 @keely

Hiding in the shadows of tetrapanax #leonotis-leonurus is back 🧡

You have so much colour in your garden I love seeing it

That looks like a Great Orange Bestie @vec 👌😍😘

Thanks @flowerseed and @jadojado29 😘

I think these are so outrageous! I love them! I can't ever find any around me!💘😍

Oh love this one you never see them in sale anywhere 💘💘💘

I'll try to collect some seeds @ShelleySnyder and @keely

Awe thanks hun your a star fingers crossed 💘💘😘

Having lost one of these previously, I dug this one up put it in the greenhouse and it's rewarded me with very early flowers 🧡 #leonotis-leonurus It did have the dreaded #mealy-bug but got that under control now

That looks interesting Julie 🌺🌺

Now that’s Orange 🍊 just had a look of them in flower they are Fabulous for your garden Bestie @vec 😘

You should know by now if it's unusual and/or orange I'll buy it @pelly @jadojado29

😂😂🙄

Oh that’s fab 🧡🧡

Oh I have flower envy @vec🧡🧡😉

Nice one, Julie👌 Haven't heard of that before @vec

Wow that’s super early! Seem to have managed to keep mine alive outside this time around, putting on new growth so can’t wait for the unusual flowers again 😍 x x x

😍😍😍

I was having one of those "senior moments" and put this under the wrong plant name 😂 #leonotis-leonurus

😊😄

Just had a look at this, isn't it lovely and late colour too 😍😍

So very cool!!💘😍

Oh love this Julie 😍

Not frost hardy though unfortunately @pelly

That's a shame 😞😞

Love it..🧡💚🧡

Not the best photo in the world but noticed #leonotis-leonurus is starting to flower in the greenhouse 🧡

I think these are the coolest plants!💘😍

I didn't realise how tender they were last year 🙄 Very unlike me not to research them. This is a replacement and safely tucked up in the warm @ShelleySnyder

Glad to hear!💘😍

This is the final plant that I need to dig up. Was hoping it was going to flower first but it's been at this stage for ages #leonotis-leonurus

Love this even tho it's not opened yet 😍

Plant 4 of 10 #leonotis-leonurus 🌺

Wow love that 💛

That's lovely julie🌺🌺
