The salmon hedychium is flowering again. The cane is close to 4m tall--a giant!--because it has to grow thru the canopy on my old clothesline, so it would probably be about half that height in a sunnier spot. It's not as strongly fragrant as my white and yellow gingers but it wafts beautifully when cut and brought inside the house.
Meanwhile, the pink hedychium is setting seeds. I did harvest seeds from it last year but didn't get around to sowing them.
The Bunnings yellow abutilon is very fertile--it just keeps on setting seedpods. Jean, if you never see seedpods on your abutilons it's probably because they set, mature and then drop off so quickly, in a matter of weeks.
