Youll never guess what flower it is!

Golden Rain - variegated Tabernaemontana

👀 You’ll never guess what flower it is!
  • ✨ If you think you’ve seen every tropical shrub out there, meet Golden Rain - a rare variegated Tabernaemontana that instantly steals the show.
  • ✨ What makes it special:

    • The leaves are a work of art – green with golden or silvery streaks that shimmer in sunlight. The white, fragrant flowers appear in clusters, adding perfume to its beauty. Compact and rounded, it’s perfect for containers or small gardens. And it’s flexible too – thriving in both full sun and partial shade.
  • ✨ How to grow it:

    • Give it bright light, well-draining soil, and regular watering with brief drying between. It’s tropical-friendly, so protect it from frost. In zones 9 and up, it’s easy to grow outdoors. Place it somewhere visible – the golden foliage deserves attention.
  • ✨ Why you’ll love it:

Because it’s rare. Because it smells amazing. Because those leaves look like they’ve been brushed with sunlight. Golden Rain is one of those plants that makes everyone stop and ask, "What is THAT?"

Gardenia nitida (Posoqueria), Shooting Star Gardenia

⭐️ You thought you knew Gardenias, until you saw this one!
  • ⭐️ Gardenia nitida (Posoqueria), Shooting Star Gardenia, is one of the most unusual gardenias you’ll ever see! Native to tropical Africa, it is a rare and elegant shrub that’s as fascinating as it is fragrant.
  • ⭐️ Unlike common gardenias with thick, waxy foliage, this one has large, diamond-shaped leaves that feel soft and delicate. The plant grows slowly into a rounded form, making it perfect for containers or small gardens.
  • ⭐️ When it blooms, the show is unforgettable. The long, tubular white flowers burst out in clusters, looking like tiny shooting stars against glossy green leaves. The scent is rich, sweet, and exotic - filling the air even from a distance.
  • ⭐️ Blooming several times a year, this gardenia lights up your garden whenever it decides to put on a show. A true collector’s piece for those who love rare, fragrant plants that stand out from the crowd.
