INTERESTING PLANTS

These are some interesting plants although I forgot what is the third plant.

Cephalotus follicularis

variegated Plumeria with red flowers

Lantana trifolia

it has an upright habit with purple berries

Polygonum capitatum

Callicarpa nudiflora

Burbidgea

Justicia fulvicoma

Cuphea micropetala

PLUMERIA RUBRA

How do I even begin to explain the feeling of seeing a ground full of beautiful blooms? All I knew was I better take some photos of the fallen beauties before they were cleared for the day. 

PLUMERIA RUBRA

The Plumeria cultivars (Common Name: Frangipani; Family: Apocyanceae) really relished the recent weather and most of them started to produce profuse clusters of flowers. This one with deep red-vermilion flowers stole my heart away.

HUB

The Hub is one of the two areas of convergence from the Heritage Gardens, Supertrees Grove and World of Plants. So I must say this is one of the important areas of the gardens and I am happy that this part of the garden is planted with a grove of big and small Ceiba speciosa (Common Name: Cotton Floss Tree) trees, varying in their trunk thorniness and colours of the flowers.

So far, the trees have been flowering separately but never synchronously. That is the only pity. Nevertheless, when the big ones do flower, it is quite remarkable. There are also a number of variegated Ceiba but I don't think I have seen any of them flower before. Other than the Ceibas, there are quite a number of other plants including Pseudobombax, Plumeria cultivars, Jatropha cultivars, Vinca rosea, Ruellia rosea, Ludwigia etc.
