Rangoon Creeper

Quisqualis indica

Description:

I am putting this up for Nguyen, thuhong. I think his picture is better because you can see the individual flower clusters. It is a challenge to bring these flowers in the house unless you use a narrow glass so they remain upright. They make the garden sweet smelling. First blooms are white, then turn pink and finally a deep red.

Habitat:

Prefers a tropical climate, bur surprisingly survived two winters that were colder than usual. Keeps trying to reach out and climb my citris trees as it would prefer to be a vine rather than a bush.

Notes:

I have added a picture of a Rangoon Creeper Seed pod. Do not break it open, but plant the whole pod with the slightly opened end up as that is where it will sprout.
