It's growing!

My dad took cuttings of his columnea and gave them to me. They didn't do well under my care- no surprise there. I brought the whole pot back to him and it is growing like crazy! @pyrrhula maybe you can tell me this. On the bottom left are two white buds. They are smaller than a grape. His original plant had bright orange flowers that look like goldfish. What are these white buds? I'm glad it is doing well! It will go outside when the weather is fine.

(Please see my photo for 13 July 2012 for the original plant and the orange flowers, if you like.)

@pyrrhula Thank you! This plant reminds me a little of messy hair, because it is going in so many directions.

I love all the directions this plant is going! Like you said - a bad hair day! Neat lighting and color.

Cool picture.

@kchuk Funny connection, but indeed, it looks like it.

A lovely window sill plant.

Great shot of the crazy plant! It's certainly growing well now!

I think I have a similar sort of pot plant! Doesn't like the heat?

[Dinah Pinkston]

Your plant has wonderful interesting lines; your dad must be quite good with plants!

It does look like fly aways and curls. I feel your pain about not necessarily being a huge green thumb but this looks great.

A lovely composition.
