Calibrachoa by soboy5

Calibrachoa

A few young blossoms from a very healthy potted calibrachoa plant, which is related to the petunia family. This plant had scores of blossoms, all quite tiny. Between work and aday.org, I have had a lull in photographic creativity and almost had to resort to a filler shot. But I spotted this fella and thought he was worthy of a photograph or two. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

vibrant, summery colour. Love calibrachoa. Had one in a hanging basket for the past 2 Summers. Not sure whether it'll come back for a 3rd time. Did not keep up the watering so it might struggle a bit.

@sabine Thanks, Sabine! I love it also. Do they need a lot of water?

the colors are striking on the black background. I think that contrast brings so much to the photo

@soboy5 well, mine needed watering at least every couple of days. But then again, everything in pots, and especially in hanging baskets, needs a lot of water during a Sydney summer. The hot weather and wind dries them out very quickly.

@sabine Thanks, it sounds like Sydney summers are the same as Atlanta summers - very hot and dry. My girlfriend lived in Sydney for a year and absolutely loved it - I want to visit there someday.
