You've changed your avatar again!!

Yes time for a change i though...

It was like looking in a mirror!!

Meanie:

It looks great!

Now that it has the first flower landmark out of the way it seems to be growing far faster too!

Yes, they do grow faster as they grow larger.

absolutely stunning:)))))

The faster the better Delonix!

I noticed dozens of new leaves growing where I chopped about a hundreds leaves back a couple of weeks ago. Mine is all done flowering for the season, though. I do however, see many still flowering around the city.

I don't have the courage to chop mine just yet!

Meanie:

You definitely don't want to chop your plant back. It would take 5 or 6 years to recover in a pot.

Advice taken on board - thanks!

You're welcome. Of course, you know only dead leaves and spent flowers can be cut. :>)

Stunning and so healthy looking to :o))

Thanks Amy!
