Serissa, Pink Fairy

[Mellow Mullet]

Yeah, another serissa, I like them. This one is called pink fairy. It has tiny (smaller that others) trumpet shaped flowers, the petals curl back towards the stem and when it is cooler they have a pink stripe, it fades as the flower ages. What do you think?

very nice. Blooms are beautiful. Trunk seems a little on the thin side, is there a chop in this guys future?

Actually, the trunk is large for a serissa, it is about as big a my ring finger. I have grown them for years and have never had one get much bigger. I may end up shortening it some one day.

Thanks,

John

Thanks, Grimmy, these are really easy to grow in my location. All that I really did was select a few branches, wire them, and keep up with the pruning.

Thanks again,
