A year or so ago, I said I'd let you know if my mini pomegranite bush
managed to flower outdoors.

Well, I got one vast flower this spring, but I didn't think that really
counted.

However, the bush is now absolutely covered in large silky bright orange
flowers (no, the flowers, not just the buds), and clearly loving its
southfacing position. It is more or less deciduous in winter, and about 2
feet tall. It's been living outside for 2 years now, with no winter
protection.


The outdoor plant is doing so well, I think I'm going to plant out my other
plant, currently residing in a pot in the porch.

They are about 5 years old, grown from seed, variety 'orange master',
horribly abused through forgetting to water them a few times...

I'm not holding my breath for pomegranites...
