The past few weeks of sunny weather has been good for my flowering plants! I stepped out into my balcony this morning and was rewarded with lots of red and pink.
The 2 hibiscus weren't doing really well a few weeks - Ms Flamenco hadn't been flowering much and the other red hibiscus was infested with aphids. But a good dose of bonemeal plus a couple of sessions of washing for the red hibiscus fixed the problems. (I'd post about what I mean by "washing" in a separate post)
I especially like the colours of the periwinle - dark red with a spot of white and yellow in the centre. The flowers look so much like fancy butterflies!

Your balcony is full of colours, how lovely. We had thunder storm this evening and a few of my love was 'killed' :(
Hi Mark, thanks! :) I'd let you know after I post...
Milka, I'm sorry to hear that.. I know how that feels like :(
That's one gorgeous periwinkle! And your super red hibiscus is amazing. Good job in getting rid of aphids. Have a great week!
