Hot Summer Love

I am besotted by my Summer Love ( Acalypha reptans ).

You may know Summer Love as Pussy Cat Tails because she goes by that name too.

She often looks depressed and withdrawn over the Winter months but then in Summer, she flourishes.

Just divine in a hanging basket or any container where the plant can sprawl and spread out. Absolutely gorgeous flowers and oh..they’re very ticklish too :)

    Just the fuzzy look of them makes you want to touch them.
    Very pretty.

    How exotic it feels, all your wonderful pictures of fabulus trees and plants. Lived in Albury about 25 years ago, the weather must be hot at the moment? A bit envyus, here it´s -13 below celcius an 50 cm snow.

    Nice blogg, will visit again!
