It's also got a light perfume which is lovely when it wafts up to the verandah.

Great pic! I'm so envious! As you know...our water here tends to causes problems with this plant.

Yes ... that's such a shame Delonix. My two are now around 2 metres tall and right now are covered in the flowers and bracts ... I just love the splashes of white in the garden beds.

I bet they have just loved all the rain! It does look very beautiful!
I haven't given up trying to grow this plant. I purchased a concentrated solution to add to the water to make it "sweeter'...hope it works! I'm going to try another Mussaenda this coming spring. I'll see what happens.
I've been collecting a lot of rain water...I hope to use this water on my hard-water sensitive plants this coming spring and summer...as long as it last anyway. : > )

This shrub is considered rather an old-fashioned one now Marguerite. You tend to see it in the older gardens ... it was quite common a one time. I love it because it's easy to grow and flowers all year round.
