Fondly known as the Pink Gardenia, this gem is one of nature's most exquisite and elusive treasures.

Its flowers are a marvel, transitioning from delicate light pink to deep hues with crimson centers, emitting a subtle fragrance.

Imagine our surprise when we stumbled upon this enchanting plant labeled as a Pink Gardenia during our explorations in Thailand! Intrigued, we delved deeper into its botanical identity.

While technically not a Gardenia, this beauty is a close relative of Plumeria and Adenium, belonging to the esteemed plant family Apocynaceae.

It's no wonder this plant has captured our hearts; its beauty is simply irresistible, leaving us wanting more.

With its compact growth habit, it's perfect for containers or in-ground planting, adding a touch of elegance to any garden space.
