Bleeding Heart Vine surprised everyone this year!

Bleeding Heart Vine - Clerodendrum thomsoniae

💞 Bleeding Heart Vine surprised everyone this year!
  • ❣️ Bleeding Heart Vine (Clerodendrum thomsoniae) is not just a winter bloomer! Despite the common belief that it blooms only in winter, this beauty actually flowers year-round in warm climates, putting on a continuous display of red and white "hearts". It bloomed in winter, then in spring, and now - it's a summertime - it is still full of flowers!
  • ❣️ The "bleeding heart" look comes from the striking contrast between the white calyx and the deep red flower inside - like a heart bursting with color.
  • ❣️ It's a vigorous vine, perfect for trellises, arbors, or containers. It can even be trained as a shrub!
  • ❣️ Grows best in bright filtered light or partial sun, and appreciates regular watering - but it's not fussy.
  • ❣️ Pollinator magnet! The blooms attract hummingbirds and butterflies, adding motion and life to your garden.
  • ❣️ Tough and tropical - i'’s hardy, low maintenance, and stays evergreen in frost-free areas.
  • ❣️ It's not shy, not seasonal, and definitely not boring!

Three shades of gold, one legendary bloom. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

Three shades of gold, one legendary bloom

Three shades of gold, one legendary bloom
🏆Three shades of gold, one legendary bloom
  • 🏆 Adenium Thong Samsee has flowers at different stages on the same plant - from pink to yellow and white, creating the impression of a whole garden in bloom!

  • 🏆 The name Thong Samsee comes from the Thai language and consists of three words:


    • Thong (ทอง) = "gold"
    Sam (สาม) = "three"
    See (สี) = "color"

    Thus, Thong Samsee can be translated as "three golden colors" or "golden triple coloration", or simply "three-color".

  • 🏆 This name refers to the variety's unique trait: its flowers go through three color stages - from soft yellow to pink and nearly white - creating the impression of multiple shades on one plant.

  • 🏆 In Thai culture, the word (ทอง) - "gold" - symbolizes wealth and prosperity, while the number three can be associated with harmony and completeness. Therefore, the name of the variety may carry a wish for beauty and good fortune.

Where do almonds come from? A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

Where do almonds come from?

🌰 Where do almonds come from? From the prettiest red-leaved tree with health benefits!
  • 📝 Most commercial almonds come from the Prunus dulcis tree, a close relative of Peach Tree, native to the Middle East and South Asia. However, Tropical Almond (Terminalia catappa), also called Indian almond or Sea almond, produces a similar nut in tropical regions.

  • 📝 The Tropical Almond tree puts on a spectacular fall display rarely seen in evergreen tropical regions. As a deciduous tree, it sheds its large, glossy leaves in a burst of color - shifting from green to brilliant shades of red, orange, and especially bright mauve. This fiery transformation sets it apart from most tropical trees. At the same time, the almond-like fruits ripen, making this tree not only a visual showstopper but also a source of delicious, nutritious nuts.


🌰 Health benefits of Tropical Almond:

  • ✅ Rich in omega-3 fatty acids - supports brain and heart health.

  • ✅ High in protein and healthy fats – helps build and maintain muscle and energy.

  • ✅ Strengthens bones and teeth – due to its calcium and phosphorus content.

  • ✅ Improves eye health – thanks to antioxidants like vitamin E.

  • ✅ Reduces inflammation – naturally anti-inflammatory.

  • ✅ Supports liver and digestive health – traditional medicine uses the leaves for liver diseases, diarrhea, and dysentery.

  • ✅ Used as an aphrodisiac – in some traditional systems.


Tropical Almonds can be grown in the ground or containers and are tolerant of heat, drought, and salt, making them great for tropical and coastal gardens.
