Since I received this Tropical Lilac (Cornutia grandifolia) and the Needle flower (Augusta rivalis) about two years ago, they have been growing into a tree and a big bush, respectively. By no mistake, they always bloom at the same time in May. This year they seem came a little earlier thanks to our mild winter.

When it is not blooming, I enjoy the fragrant leaves all year long. Every time I pass by, I just could not help to rub the leaves between my fingers, and smell the wonderful scent from the leaves. Every time a visitor comes to my garden, I always offer them to take a leaf to smell. I am glad most of them love it. Some of them want to have one as well. Unfortunately, this is kind of plant you don't see in the nursery store. I still have not found the way to propagate it, rooting cuttings, and growing from seeds both failed. If anybody knows a way, please let me know.
This year is the first time the Needle flower bush set so MANY flowers, hundreds of them! Aren't those flower buds really look like "Needles"?

The good part of Need Flower is that it is easy to propagate via cuttings. This has been making sharing among friends easy.
With Tropical Lilac, Needle flower, pink Angle Trumpet, and ground orchids blooming together in this flower bed, you can guess how I am loving this area these days! This used to be a muddy area when we moved in three years ago.
Hope they can come back again and again for many years coming!
You have so many lovely flowers in that section - and so many I have never heard of!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I don't know why these two plants could not been seen in regular store. I got them as a member of Flamingo Gardens.
DeleteWhat a delightful area...!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, I am really enjoying this area this time of the year.
DeleteI've not seen either of those plants and you have turned a muddy space into bit of tropical paradise.

Thank you! This area tends to have water retained when it has heavy rain. I had to raise the flower bed to avoid the flooding. So far the plants there seem loving it.
DeleteHow nice to have everything blooming together. That is a very pretty area. You must feel so happy to see it transformed from a muddy spot to a beauty spot.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The transformation took lots of work, but certainly worth it!
DeleteThe needle flower you sent me is blooming nicely, too, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the unique look of it. I tried growing your tropical lilac from the seeds you sent but didn't have any luck either. It's such a beauty you'd think you would find it in all the nurseries. Enjoy your beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteWait for your needle flower bush growing bigger, you will enjoy better :) When hundreds of flowers blooming together, it is just so different! I wonder why the tropical lilac is so difficult to propagate,too bad there is not much information available over the internet either. I will let you know if I ever have any luck.
DeleteOh, those are two beautiful plants! I remember you posting about those way back when. That tropical lilac is a stunning beauty! It does look like the cold-weather version of lilac. Of course, I googled, and it says they are zone 10, so I'm not sure I could grow those here, but I really, really want them!
ReplyDeleteThe tropical lilac is very cold sensitive, whenever the temperature drops below 40, the leaves got frost bites easily and eventually fall off. But it survived the past three years fine, except losing leaves, it grows quite fast once the weather warms up. I had to trim it to control the size since it is obviously that I did not give it enough space (again).
DeleteLook at the way my partner Wesley Virgin's report begins with this SHOCKING and controversial video.
ReplyDeleteWesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "self mind control" tactics that the government and others used to get anything they want.
As it turns out, these are the same methods many celebrities (especially those who "come out of nothing") and top business people used to become rich and famous.
You probably know how you use only 10% of your brain.
That's mostly because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe this conversation has even occurred IN YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head around 7 years ago, while riding an unlicensed, garbage bucket of a vehicle with a suspended license and $3.20 on his debit card.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I become successful?"
You took part in those questions, ain't it right?
Your success story is going to start. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
