How to double your Gold

Allamanda williamsii - Stansils Double Gold

๐Ÿ’ฐ How to double your Gold
  • ๐Ÿ’› Allamanda williamsii - Stansils Double Gold has unusual double flowers! This vining shrub can be very compact unlike common Allamanda vines (that can become quite massive). You can trim it into a small bush, or let it grow over a fence or trellis.
  • ๐Ÿ’› Stansils Double Gold is very attractive ever-blooming vine with bright yellow double trumpet-like flowers 3" wide, slightly fragrant, blooming year-round.
  • ๐Ÿ’› Grows well in most soils. Keep fairly dry during winter and prune in spring before growth begins.

What happens when you cross Cream and Lavender?

runfelsia isola - Lavender Lady of the Night

๐Ÿ’œ 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. ๐Ÿ‘ซ

๐Ÿ’Ž A gem for a rare plant collection of #Nature_Wonders!
