Hi Sasha,

I sent Charlie an email picture of my plant, and he told me what he
thought,
I have now opened a photobucket account, and here is a link to it, tell
me
what you think!

I haven't asked Ray his opinion but at a guess, Mandevilla sanderi
'Rosea'.
I think it's possibly a bit pale to be Alice du Pont, assuming the colour
in
the photo is true?

The colour is true, and I looked for Charlie's email to check what he said,
and I have deleted his reply by accident....



In truth there is not a lot of difference, I normally tell them apart by
leaf size (the colour can vary enormously) Alice du Pont has the largest
leaves and boliviensis is at the smaller end. to further complicate
things x amabilis is a hybrid of M. splendens and can be variable and
will seed itself (its found naturalized on Hawaii) I think the leaf size
in this case points to M splendens or a hybrid of it but if it turns out
that it is M sanderi then it won't make a lot of diffence to its after
care. Google does not help much as you often find that the picture used
does not match the text.
