Finbar the PP Briard flounces his hair, clearly thinking he is on a shoot for a shampoo commercial rather than a Christmas card.

Who needs flowers when you have buds as good looking as this? Abutilon Pompeii Red putting on the style. #abutilon #abutilons

It may be October, but this Abutilon Lucky Lantern Tangerine is still a mass of bud and flower. A fabulous dwarf variety, developed by Australian plant breeder Graham Brown in the early 2000s. #abutilon #abutilons #october

A spectacular addition to any garden, Beschorneria Yuccoides is astonishingly hardy, despite its exotic looks. Hardy for us down to -10C. #beschorneria #yucca #exoticplants

Getting late season now, so this rooted cutting of Abutilon Souvenir de Bonn is keen to get potted into its 7 cm pot in which it will overwinter before final potting on in the spring. #abutilon #abutilons #propagation

Abutilon Phoebe looking stunning on a late September day, with her intense high gloss red petals, and just look at the length of those sepals!

The bees are very busy among the abutilons just now. Here a very busy individual gives a flower on Thomas Jackson the full works. #bees #abutilons #abutilon

Abutilon Schneeflocke (Snowflake) keeping it cool on a day of 30C heat on the nursery. One of Ann Kirchner-Abel's cultivars. #abutilon #abutilons #heatwave2025

These young plants of Abutilon Vitifolium and x Suntense were frying in a greenhouse so we took pity and brought them outside somewhere cooler and shadier. #abutilon #abutilons #heatwave2025

Some young #abutilons enjoying the evening sunshine. We have just made available a limited release across 40+ varieties with much more to follow in the coming weeks.

Sydney Belle is one of the few older cultivars of #abutilon that aren't of European or US origin. It can be traced back to at least 1908, when it is mentioned in the Journal of the Department of Agriculture of the state of Victoria. #abutilons #australia

On the kitchen windowsill our #hippeastrum aka #amaryllis is enjoying a new flush of flowers. It's been doing its lovely thing since #Christmas!

With #spring (possibly) on the way, we have been potting up #abutilons propagated last autumn into coir pots. This one is Marion. Ready to grow! Grown #peatfree, delivered #plasticfree.

Agave Victoriae Reginae. Regal by name, regal by nature. Definitely not your common or garden succulent. Only the best spot on the windowsill will do. #agave #succulents
