The lean to that you see was caused by one of four Hurricanes that passed through
in 2004. Another reason to keep it in confines.
There have been a few wet years in the past that resulted in many of the seeds that
ultimately get broadcast after every heavy flowering in sprouting. So I can only curse
the city that recommend these trees, once the little darlings of the city. Now the pinks
and purples varieties have taken the place of the once crowned.
I have two other yellow varieties that a friend had started from seed and these are of
a smaller flowered kind, that I had picked for him. Not only are the leaves smaller but
the blooms are a bit smaller too.
One of the seedlings appears to be a runt and that is the beauty of starting
from seed. This is the same age as the one above and may make a great
candidate for Bonsai.
I gathered some fresh bamboo today, to bind into a pole to tether my
Dragons (Dragon Fruit plants).
