Flowering Maple 'Marginata' (Abutilon pictum)
Oh, that is just gorgeous! Lovely pic.... and I'm sure it's hardy in your zone.
Thanks! Yep, its hardy here. Now if I could only get the durn thing to bloom! LOL Then we could have some smiley flower photos!
OHHH, gorgeous variegation!
Thank you- It came from the Huntington Botanical Gardens and that is about all that I know at the present. It was a teeny rooted cutting and I am so excited to see what it becomes!
Did you see what the bloom looks like?
No- it was a tiny seedling when I bought it in mid- May. I bought it based on the tag. I love abutilons.
Do you have abutilons, Weeds? I have four and three are from that sale and not blooming yet.... : (
The blooms are described on the PDB exactly as it was on the tag. But I do love the foliage so far.
I have a few but one in particular that is very tall and blooms year round....I just love it.
They get quite large here and I had never had them until we bought a house this year and I started planting stuff that I had seen here and loved. They get really leggy here (from what I have seen in other folks gardens LOL) and the blooms are like fried eggs. Love that.
I just started this week with a 20-20-20 fertilizer to try and get them to bloom. The 3 that were teeny are in large patio pots. The big one (I bought her big) is in the ground and blooms a lot.
Are yours in the ground?
I want some inside too.
Mine are in the ground. The one I love is like a tree...about 12 ft tall. I have a pic somewhere on a cd...will find it tomorrow. Those low growing, small ones do nothing for me...too leggy.
Oh please a picture!
Oh my goodness! That is just gorgeous!
Do you know its name? Have you ever tried rooting cuttings?
It is some hybrid but no, don't know the name...mine is so tall I have to tie it up in these winds...is top heavy and blooms all year.
Cuttings root just too easy, whack off a branch and stick it in the ground. Want one?
Yes, please! Do you have any wants or needs: ) ?
Beez careful asking that! LOL Not at this time...maybe in the spring...I am doing good too keep what I have going now. You e me your address and I will see if I have one ready.....if not will root you one.

Okay- you have mail.; )
