Margarita I got it today. Your seeds will be going out in the next few days. I have to pick up more seed envelopes. I can't stand those folded paper things.

Karyn, I would love to have a couple of your allamanda seeds. I think I lost mine this year by leaving it out too long. I am sure I have a vine that you might be interested in, but I will have to check and email you. Thanks, Linda

Do you know which species you have? Is it seed pods you want, or just flowers? I have several bush Allamanda which in some places is listed as A. cathartica and in others A. schotti, but my leaves look different than yours. Mine have been in the ground for two and a half years and are now blooming their heads off, so I'll share my conditions even though I don't know if yours would like the same. I haven't pruned them, have never fertilized them (although the soil was amended when I planted them because it is very poor and limestoney), but mine seem to bloom most with more heat and more water. It's been in the mid-90s since late April here (doesn't usually get that hot until well into July), which is when mine started to bloom heavily (mine bloom year round, but more sparingly in the winter). Then, last month, the rain started and now my plants look like they have more flowers than leaves. They are in full sun, along a wall with southern exposure. If my plants are any indication of what conditions bush allamandas bloom most in, I'm going to guess that your plants are either not getting enough water, not getting enough heat/sun, or you are fertilizing them too much. I hope you figure it out! If it's any consolation, mine would constantly dry out and would hardly flower their first year. It just took mine a year for their roots to grow deep enough to get enough regular water, but now they're my biggest bloomers. Good luck! I know once you figure it out you will have them blooming like crazy again :)

First, turn your caps lock off when you post. All capital letters is considered shouting, and it's rude to shout. Allamanda has the tendency to get leggy, so the only thing you can do there is cut them back hard and let them start over. (A picture would help.) Your Bougainvillea should be in bloom now. If not it's either getting too much irrigation or not enough sun.
