    ....and the motto of this thread is :- use only botanical names ; it avoids confusion such as this .
    My Crinodendron patagua flowered for the first time this year ; was expecting something a little more 'exciting' for want of a better word . Not recommended !!
  • Oh that is a shame.
    I loved Crinodendron patagua...sadly lost it to a cold winter in Wales.
    C.H.Ada Hoffmann is a super pink form.

    That's interesting , mine somehow survived the 'Beasts' of this year , totally unprotected; and I live in E.England . Compared to its cousin (hookerianum) I suppose I was expecting something as beautiful .
    My C.patagua is growing amidst other shrubs and trees ; would probably look better against the backdrop of an old stone wall or something similar .
    Sorry you lost yours !
