What happens when you cross Cream and Lavender?

runfelsia isola - Lavender Lady of the Night

💜 What happens when you cross Cream and Lavender?

The flowers of this rare hybrid that we mentioned earlier, Brunfelsia isola, or Lavender Lady of the Night, are a "marble" twist of cream and purple, changing hue unpredictably. They are deliciously fragrant at night.

Brunfelsia isola is an unusual cross between B. americana and B. grandiflora. What a genetical surprise!

Brunfelsia isola has the benefit of fragrant cream-colored brunfelsia and light purple color from the other parent. 👫

💎 A gem for a rare plant collection of #Nature_Wonders!
