Thunbergia Apricot Smoothie

I hadn't seen this one before, I love the color.

Very pretty. I like the dark center.

Lovely - do you grow this outdoors?

it's outdoors for now, but can't take cold temps. This is my first year with this plant, but I hope to overwinter it indoors.

I love it! The color is beautiful.

Nice leaves too, like velvet.

When you being it indoors make sure you place it over something that is easy to clean. Mine dropped leaves like crazy when I moved it and kept leaving little green sticky drops on the shelf and floor. It's a beautiful plant.

Beautiful - did you grow it from seed? (Too scared to try seeds!)

I bought two orange thunbergias - my DH planted the first one in with the climbing rose! Now I have a second one on the way but I feel I should have a plan or it could suffer the same fate. The first one I ever saw (or noticed) was grown on some trellis or maybe as a standard (wow, I can't remember and it was

Not from seed, I bought this one. I have grown the orange ones from seed, and have seeds for the white ones that I just planted. This one was on a tepee of bamboo sticks when I got it. I repotted it and have it with criss crossed 4' bamboo arches in the pot.

Deb,

Can you please show us what your bamboo arches and thunbergia look like?

Hi Carrie,
I was going to go out and take a picture of it showing the bamboo, but my daughter borrowed my digital camera for the weekend. This is a picture I already had showing a Morning Glory on the same type of bamboo, just so you can get an idea of what it's like.

I have two of these also, growing up opposite fence posts. They're climbing and blooming like crazy! Really beautiful, one of my better purchases!

Mine are growing, climbing (or crawling) but except for the one it arrived with, NO BLOOMS! What am I doing wrong?

Mine's not a real prolific bloomer, usually 4 to 6 flowers at a time. This is my first experience with anthing other than the common orange ones, those bloomed non-stop!

I used Superbloom on my entire flower bed and that gave me some more blooms.

Beautiful! It looks similar to mine, which is Blushing Susie (aka African Sunset) I also have Spanish Eyes, but that one hasn't bloomed yet (I purchased those as plants). I started some Blushing Susie and Salmon Shades from seed (by Thompson & Morgan); I had no problems getting them to germinate--and if I can do it, anyone can! :-) Tamara

I'm trying some kind of BLOOMBOOSTER on it.
