I knocked before I trimmed!

This is the deepest red Chinese lantern that ive ever seen.
It was planted in the front garden of a doctor’s office on Moreland Rd.

Unfortunately, we have had massive storms in Melbourne over the last few days, and more are predicted tonight.
I thought it was prudent to trim this abutilon before the storm hit.

Ive planted over 30 soft wood cuttings from the trim.
Surely one will grow!

I find it so weird that neither Mum or I can keep a red one alive. We both grow other colors with ease!
