Mandevilla syn. Dipladenia

Morning everyone 👋 New addition as I failed to overwinter my previous one successfully in the cold frame. #pink #mandevilla-pink #ajmay #mayflowers

Beautiful 💖💖

It's very pretty 🌺

Beautiful pink. I was wondering about your previous one as I bought mine just after you did. Sorry yours did not make it. Somehow mine survived indoors. It flowered for months but none yet this spring. It is pink too. 💗💕💞

Thank you Julie…hoping I can do a better job of overwintering this year 🤞 @juliesgarden

Thanks Jason. Will have to see if bringing it indoors over winter will work this year as the cold frame wasn’t up to the job. @hebelover

Yes, the cold frame was a bit of a gamble which sadly didn’t pay off. I shall have to follow your example and bring this one indoors this winter. My track record for bringing anything indoors isn’t great but I can but try! Glad you had success with yours. Hopefully it won’t be too long before it starts to bloom Diane 🤞 @hkyfvr

I've loved these ever since I saw one in the US a few years ago but here I've had the same problem in getting one to survive winter. If I try again, I too will need to follow Diane's @hkyfvr advice. 😏

I am very surprised mine survived and did so well. She is outdoors basking in the sun today. I think it was dumb luck that mine survived. I was very surprised it did to be honest. 🤷‍♀️ @jeatacake.

Thanks Angela. It will probably flower closer to the Summer. Then it seems to flower right through till Winter. 👍😍

Shame you lost last year's, it was beautiful but this is lovely too 🌸🌸🌸

They really are lovely. I think this will be my final attempt to overwinter. My motto is if at first you don’t succeed, try again, then if that fails, give up! 😆 @jeatacake @hkyfvr @pelly

Morning everyone, the sun is certainly making the colour pop today #pink #mandevilla-pink #brazilianjasmine

Morning Angela…❤️☀️

Morning Elaine, hope you’ve got your shady spot in the garden sorted for a cuppa or maybe a glass of something later on? ☀️🍷🍹🍸 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Oh yes we’ve got several of those…..I think it’s going to be a scorcher so the hosepipe is at the ready…for the plants not me 😆well🤔 enjoy ☀️

Excellent, spoilt for choice! Thanks Elaine, you too ☀️😎 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Morning Angela. Beautiful isn't it but too oppressive for me unfortunately ....take care in the sun 👋🌞

Morning Angela, it's looking glorious 💕💕💕

Yes it’s going to be a scorcher Pauline. I’ve already got my shady spot all sorted. If all else fails, it’ll be Indoors with a fan for me and Monty 🐶 Hope you can find a cool, shady spot. Have a lovely day 😎 @flof1952

Morning and thank you Jane, I really thought I might struggle with this one as it looks so tropical and delicate 💕 @pelly

Yes my shady spot is all ready too Angela ....enjoy your day and stay cool @italydiva 👍😊

Lovely... my cordyline is heading for the scrap heap at some time. Thought it had recovered a little but looks dead again. Will ship it out come autumn

Oh no, how disappointing and it was such a beautiful cordyline too! I think mine may be okay but that may be because it was a much smaller one than yours. Been watering it loads and so far it looks as though it may be salvageable 🤞 Definitely won’t be fleecing it again this year that’s for sure. Do you think you’ll get another? @Jimfwhitmore

Still bearing up in the rain #julyblooms #mandelvilla-pink #pink

So many blooms 😮 you’re definitely doing something right with this one 😍

I know…I couldn’t be more surprised! 😂 @kez001uk

These are stunning Angela. Love these flowers. 💗💕

They certainly pack a colour punch Diane! 💗 🥊 @hkyfvr

Beautiful 💗 we only ended up with about half an hour's rain. It glorious out there now, oh and the washing is back out 🙄😂

Lol 😂 I’m in and out like a yo-yo! When it stops raining it’s really quite warm and humid out there 😅 @pelly

Slightly surprised this one is still alive! #mandevilla #mandevilla-pink #pink #bloom

It must love its spot. The flowers are such a beautiful pink 💗💗💗

Lovely 💕💕💕

Thank you, it seems to be quite happy at the moment…but you know what it’s like when you’ve got a plant that you feel sure is beyond your ability to keep healthy and alive! 😆 I’m keeping absolutely everything crossed! 🤞🤞🤞@pelly @anges

I kept looking at these in Morrisons, not come across them before, are they fussy?🤔

It’s looking great! 💗💕💗

Yes, I hadn’t seen them before and bought this one from Morrisons Jason. I liked the tropical look. It was indoors but said it was an outdoor plant. Was a bit dubious if I’m honest, but it will definitely have to come indoors over winter as it’s not hardy. So far so good with a weekly feed and just keeping the soil barely moist. I just tend to worry I won’t be able to keep something so beautiful alive! I shall need to sort a larger climbing frame out very soon. @hebelover

Thanks Kerry…so far, so good! 🤞 @kez001uk

Cataloguing - Bought from Morrison’s 11th May 2011 #mandevilla #mandevilla-pink #pink

Beautiful 💗💗💗

@pelly I couldn’t pass by this beauty in Morrisons Jane 🌸💖 Morrison’s own price label said it was an “Outdoor Mandevilla”. Knowing nothing whatsoever about this plant and having subsequently looked it up, I’m not so sure it will thrive outdoors at the moment? I know it’s not hardy. Can anyone advise please? #advice #help

Wow that’s stunning 🤩

Try @kez001uk I’m pretty sure she grows them 👍

Thanks Jane! 😀👍 @pelly

Thanks Sharon...it certainly caught my eye. No way I could ignore it and leave it on the shelf! 🌸💖💖 @sharonhayden

That's fab! I'd love one of those outside 💗💗💗

Just hoping Morrisons haven’t misled me Ange...it was on a shelf inside the store but it did say “outdoors” on the price label? 🤔 I’ve brought it indoors for now until I get some guidance as I don’t want to kill it off!! @anges

It’s beautiful 💗 @pelly Jane, I have a couple of bougainvillea but only ever had, and killed, one of these 😂

Oh what a shame Kerry. In that case, in the absence of any other advice, any thing you would do differently if you had another one? 🤔 @kez001uk

@italydiva it definitely will need protected over winter and I think I overwatered mine too 🙈 seeing yours has made me want to give one another go 🤔
