My Jatropa






Welcome to Today’s Flowers.The blooms pictured above are those of the Jatropha, an evergreen shrub. Also known as the Spicy jatropha, the plant can grow to a small tree. Mine is in a container so I need to keep its height in check. It likes full sun and of course, a well-drained soil. I bought the plant when I saw the pretty blooms not realizing then that it could grow to a height of about 15 ft! But it has been attracting the pollinators so I now realize that I should trim and ne’er complain!!
