Summer colour downunder: Mussaenda philippica, commonly called Bangkok Rose

Love your plants Bernieh they are al so unsual!

They are lovely .. it gives me an idea of what my cousin is seeing as he lives out there ...........

Thanks PP and Amy - these are rather common over here in the north ... mainly because they're such a heat and drought hardy plant and put on this fabulous display!

Actually I just saw two new varieties this morning when I popped into my favourite nursery - couldn't get them today ... but I think it will be soon!!!!

Bernieh:

Beautiful!

Have you seen the yellow bract variety there? I've
seen some...however, they are pretty rare.

No Andy haven't seen the yellow one - the nursery had a two-tone light pink and a deep red. Like the sound of the yellow one as well.

Bernieh:

The yellow variety used to be available at a nursery in
Northern San Diego County. I'll have to check this
spring to see if it's still available...I may try one. : > )

The yellow and the white would look terrific together!

Bernieh:

Actually your pink, white with the yellow would look superb together! : > )

Lol ... would be a stunning combination!
