- 💠 Brunfelsias are truly enchanting tropical flowers. There are two groups - purple-flowered and cream/white-flowered.
- 💠 All Brunfelsias are wonderfully fragrant.
- 💠 Perfect flowering shrub for shaded areas; ideal for growing in containers.
- 💠 Compact and graceful growers.
- 💠 Purple-flowered are known as Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow for their magical color transformation from purple to lavender to white over three days. Examples: B. grandiflora, B. paucifolia, B. australis.
- 💠 White-flowered: intensely fragrant at night, earning the name Lady of the Night.
- 💠 Hybrids: A standout hybrid is Brunfelsia isola, that we mentioned earlier. It is blending the best of both purple and white varieties, inheriting purple color from the purple parent and night fragrance from the white one.
Examples: B. americana, B. nitida, B. plicata, B. manaca.

Three top tropical trees - from the legends of Caribbean
Yellow Poinciana, Jacaranda, and Royal Poinciana paintings
Yellow Poinciana
Jacaranda
Royal Poinciana
While traveling through the vibrant and diverse Caribbean, we acquired three exquisite local paintings rendered on jacaranda wood plates and a calabash. These pieces of art celebrate the three most spectacular and revered flowering trees of the Tropics:
- Yellow Poinciana, with its bright golden blossoms, associated with joy and sunlight, symbolizing the warmth of the Caribbean spirit💛
- Jacaranda, known for its striking lavender-blue flowers, is a symbol of wisdom and rebirth, blooming in a breathtaking display that signals the change of seasons 💜
- Royal Poinciana, that we mentioned earlier, with its fiery red and orange flowers, is a symbol of passion and energy, referred to as the "Flamboyant" tree due to its bold and dramatic appearance ♥️
Get them now while we have them. No need to go too far into Caribbean!
