Well, well...
First of all, my new Chinese Fringe (Loropetalum pink) was repotted and now the flowers are gone.
Pot by Onodera.

Then I have to show my Calliandra Selloi.
It got very, but very angry at me for being repotted twice last year.
Of course its way to show anger is not flowering at all.
Which makes me sick, being the tree on my avatar and I know how profusely it bloons.
When happy, of course!
By the way, don't use copper wire on tropicals. It is a big mistake.

Why is that, "don't use copper wire on tropicals"? I have used it on all of my ficus at one time or another, especially for the larger stuff since I was out of 4 and 5 mm aluminum wire. I did not seem to have any problems, other than it was harder to get off than the aluminum. Not trying to be an ass, just curious...

It's just not needed, I guess.
Even with my big ones, if I double the aluminium wire, it works better and it's cheaper and less difficult to unwire later.
And with most bark colors of the tropicals, the color of the annealed copper is not so good as when used in conifers.

Bark is usually thinner and easily damaged.

Two Ficus salicaria and one Ficus microcarpa
It always surprises me how bad my pictures look. I thought these looked pretty good in person. It's amazing how the human eye and brain can automatically make adjustments for depth and clutter, while the camera shows no mercy!

In part. I find when I drop the cellphone and bring out a camera where I can adjust the lensopening and with that, the depth of focus, you can assist your camera to only focus on those elements you want to show, and blur out a bit of the backgroundclutter.

Silver Buttonwood from a ~5 gal pot in a landscaping nursery, 2006, here greatly reduced with brown flowers. Mousy brown flowers. Almost too many to remove and they almost never stop coming...
