Several years ago I purchased a Solandra maxima from a fellow at the Saturday Farmers’ Market.
April 4, 2013 Bloom
It became a 12 foot long plant on a trellis. Numerous cuttings were taken to make more plants that are growing in a numerous locations in my gardens and gardens of friends.
Last year after the annual bloom, the plant lost all of its leaves. I meant to remove it, but just couldn’t find the time.
This evening I was photographing the Brugmansia growing in front of the Solandra maxima.
To my surprise I found that the Solandra maxima is leafing out.
Don’t know why it was without leaves for nearly a year, but I am glad I didn’t remove the plant. Maybe it will even bloom this year.
