But it's here now - looks something like a hibiscus flower, but I don't think it's a hibiscus . . .





Might be something I had last year and have forgotten.

Looks like a mandevilla

Yep it's a mandevilla - love them!

Oh, thanks so much - I vaguely remembered the thing, but couldn't quite put my finger on it.

I don't quite know how I came to still have one. I think I had one about 3 years ago and got it identified - I musta kept a clipping of it going. There's so many plants now . . . I keep them on the windowsill and down in the lobby in winter.

Dunno if I'm going to have room for everything this year.

Jeff's been looking after the balcony stuff - I've lost track of it all. I'm still working on the lot outside - but not as much as I used to.

Thanks again!

They reclassified the Mandevillas. Mandevillas are viny like Yellow Alamanda.

The more shrubby varieties are classified as Dipladenia.

Sorry, my bad. They had separated them, but now are lumped together again as Mandevilla.
