TABERNAEMONTANA (VARIEGATED)

I simply love this variegated Tabernaemontana from the Apocynaceae Family, although I couldn't tell whether it is a T. corymbosa (common name: Flower of Love) or T. divaricata.

I love this plant because the variegated white foliage maintains its colour despite being grown under light shade etc although it may not flower well. Anyway, some other synonyms of T. corymbosa include Pagiantha peninsularis and Ervatamia corymbosa.
