Dipladenia / Today's Flowers

Blossoms in a hanging basket I saw last summer in Port Perry, Ontario

This was a hanging basket I would have liked to have hanging from my porch.  It was a beauty.

Thank you for the correction, Xavi! It's a Dipladenia  or mandevilla!

    Your colours are so vibrant, I bet they glow in the dark.

    Mine look like spring because that is just what we are in the middle of.

    I'm not sure I'm familiared with these but they are beautiful and so is the mosaic.

    By the way, it was a very expensive swan and the photo cost me a fortune! :-)))

    Hey there!

    I have never been a fan of flowers but having them around is not such a bad thing after all. I like how you captured the beauty! Now they're not just flowers in a basket anymore! :)

    Exquisite!!! I always loved this vine and wished it grew here. When I worked at the Nursery we had one growing way up in the rafters in the greenhouse.
    Mandevilla, formally know as....
    Sorta like Prince. LOL MB

    Beautiful - I do miss having hanging baskets (in our traveling lifestyle). I'm always impressed when people know the actual names of exotic flowers. I'm a lazy flower lover.

    I like the hanging basket idea. Sort of. Doesn't water and dirt drip down out of a hanging basket?

    Maybe if you put gorgeous dipladenias in the basket you don't care? ;-)

    I met mandevilla this spring, at the garden centre, so thank you for showing me a mature plant! It is lovely!
