SENNA ALATA

The Seven Golden Candlesticks in the garden have been flowering continuously for these few weeks already. It is one of the native plants of Singapore and should preferably planted as a background plant because of its leggy habit.

I cannot really decide whether I like or dislike this plant. Clearly, I love its inflorescences that earn it the common name Seven Golden Candlesticks but I don't appreciate its growth habit.


Anyway, this one looks slightly different from the ones that I often see or planted. Guess what is the difference? In this specimen, the new flowers are yellow compared to the light brown ones that I showed in some earlier posts. Is this a cultivar then?
