Add Your Opinion About This Plant Mrs Smith (20) wrote on Jul 20 2014 Rating for this plant: We have a Chinensis and it has given us such a wonderful display of flowers (actually the bracts that give the display) in summer, followed by red fruit in Autumn. I like this opinion Note: please don't use this box to post questions, you can do that on our forums instead.
