CNIDOSCOLUS CHAYAMANSA

I grew to love this unusual plant after I planted it and observed it for a while.

From a small 1.5 m shrub with straggly branches and few leaves, it developed into this multiple-branch tree with leaves all over it.

I have to say the multiple-lobed eaves were what caught my initial attention. Since then, the white flowers were also a delight for me to see. Without fail, I would almost always see at least 1 Leopard Butterfly going to the flowers for nectar.
