The Last Flower Standing

Tweet

Well after a frosty Friday last week my husband decided to clear up all our plants from the containers as they're expected demise happened kind suddenly and all at once! The Begonias and the Big Hibiscus and all the Impatiens had gone to a better place the next day! ha! All of course except the hardy Dipladenia or Mandeville that had stood proud and was still growing a bit even a week before. It's vine-y tendrils are still clinging to the makeshift trellis and seemed to be holding on for dear life There was even still a few pink flowers left here and there. We couldn't help but admire the stamina of this tropical vine. I recommend it as a great container or bedding plant as it perseveres to the end. The colours are usually pinks to reds and they do love sun as well. Think about them next year when you plan your garden! And it's gorgeous! Aah Spring- you seem so very far off!
