👁 What is this shocking pink gardenia? Does it exist?
  • 🌸 Kopsia fruticosa: 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 expedition 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 we mentioned earlier, as well as Tabernaemontana (also often confused with Gardenia). All these beauties belong 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.
