Re: Still some colour in the garden
Arif sahab, it's real name is Caesalpinia pulcherrima. I cannot pronounce it but be happy with "Peacock flower" for safety.Muhammad Arif Khan wrote:They call it Chota Gul Mohar some call it Pontiana, I would also like to know the real name.zeeshanuddin wrote:Lovely flowers...... Whats that plant in second picture which resembles Delonix Regia (Gul mahar)? Can it survive Islamabad winters?
Pontiana must be some sort of linguistic distortion.

Re: Still some colour in the garden
Thank you Farooq, I remembered the Pulcherrima and could not recollect Caesalpinia ( old age memory loss) thus could not locate it as it is not listed under Pulcherrima.

Caesalpinia pulcherrima. I got the Mexican Flame I grew from seed but lost the best one "Compton Pink" last winter, also grown from seed.

Re: Still some colour in the garden
hibiscus is mind blowing especially the pattern inside. Why is the plant struggling?

Re: Still some colour in the garden
Hibiscus actually do not like phosphorus since it builds up and then the plant actually starves. Another problem could be spider mites since hibiscus are quite prone to disease. Also hibiscus like an evenly moist soil, they do not like to become completely dry. This is what I know of tropical hibiscus. I think spraying Aceta and giving high K with some N fertilizer and a little Iron might solve the problem. I'm having the same problems with my hibiscus since I've been negligent and the Mali ill informed and unaware.
