YO

Loose clusters of pale pink flowers with golden blotch bloom on wiry stems. Broadly ribbed, iris-like leaves. Hardy and easy to grow!

The name refers to the colorful raspberry colored stem, but that's not the only colorful thing about this Spiraling Ginger. The leaves are dark green, long and glossy with velvety deep purple undersides. The inflorescence is a vivid red with tight bracts and bold yellow flowers. The butterflies love to drink the nectar from the flowers. This is a large vigorous ginger, growing up to 5-6 ft tall.

Adenium Hong Yok displays a richly patterned flower with dramatic color contrast and layered structure. The broad outer petals open in deep rose and burgundy tones, heavily streaked and marbled with lighter shades that create a painted, almost flame-like effect across the surface.
Toward the center, the color shifts to warm cream and soft yellow, forming a tight rosette of smaller petals that adds depth and complexity to the bloom. The petals are thick and slightly ruffled, giving the flower a textured, sculpted appearance.
The combination of burgundy, pink, and golden tones produces a vibrant, multi-toned bloom where no two flowers look exactly the same. Each blossom carries its own unique pattern of streaks and splashes, making Hong Yok particularly visually interesting when several flowers are open at once.
The Thai name Hong Yok combines Hong, a mythical swan symbolizing grace and nobility, with Yok, meaning jade - suggesting elegant beauty and precious, jewel-like colors.

This Adenium hybrid, Think of You, has a captivating look with its delicate, soft purple and white stripes swirling throughout the petals. The deep, rich purple center contrasts beautifully with the lighter shades at the edges, giving it a thoughtful and layered appearance, as if the flower itself evokes a feeling of fond remembrance. A perfect bloom that will always make you think of its beauty when you see it in your garden.
