Hi MJL , I was going to refer to the Hydrangea changes but it was on my mind to try some food colouring on the soil to see if it had an effect .

A graft was the solution to a multi coloured flowering Crepe Myrtle that I always wanted .

Cheers . Alpine

Ahh..I see..practicing the "Art of deception" trick very well. :clap: (You little rascal!)

Hi KCR , no deception , just producing something no-one else has , again uniquely different .

Not a good display with any flowering material here but you get the idea behind the plan in place .

This is not the only multi coloured trunk here , awaiting the results of another colour graft on a cascade trunk of sorts
