Abelia x grandiflora ‘Kaleidoscope’ - UPDATE

 below is an exerpt from the Photo/History page for 'Kaleidoscope'; click to see full history of this plant.

 This was the last picture taken of 'Kaleidoscope' & the last entry for this specimen. I posted EOL (End of Life) below the photo (left) which is a phrase borrowed from software programming, because I probably didn't want to admit that I had killed this little tree by over-pruning .

So, another lesson learned, but there was another lesson not forgotten, of taking cuttings from all new plants & propagating as back-up in case something happened to the parent plant.

 Meet 'Kaleidoscope II', ready & willing to take his place as candidate. Potted now in a small training tray, he should be good until spring or summer, next year, by which time, he will be a good deal larger & possibly ready for styling.
