Adenium, Impala Lily, Dessert Rose or locally known as Bangkok Kalachuchi
from the family Apocynaceae is one common
houseplant that produces beautiful blooms. It can live for years and is a
favorite plant subject of bonsai enthusiasts. My mom actually made a few in the
past, and are now residing in my big brothers home.
I have only seen the white and the more common
pink dessert roses in my 36 years of existence until last week that I've seen 3
more of its variants personally. These variants are what we called the hybrids,
cultivated to produce more distinct colors.
Blooming brilliantly in Sarangani Highlands, General Santos City are the following;
Golden to pale yellow from inner throat to outward petals with uneven specks
of pink.
Stunning in overall red from throat
to petals.
And this, is one of the fancy varieties, a multiple petal in light pink, the
most beautiful among them for me.
If given a chance, I really would love to have these at home, I dream of having some hybrids and turn them into attractive bonsais.
How about which of them do you like most?
P.S. The photos above were taken using a Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

ReplyDeleteAdenium grows well here. Wonderful colors and captures.
ReplyDeleteAll the flowers look beautiful but I like the red one the most. I hope to have more flowering plants at home, too. But I'm not much of a green thumb.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Wish I could pick one and put it behind my ear :)
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are so pretty. I would love to have them all planted outside my home. Thanks for sharing those beautiful photos Sis:)
ReplyDeleteNice hybrids there. I haven't seen such variety of "calachuchi" here in our place. Hope to get one and plant at home.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely looking hybrid flowers. They would certainly look nice in a vase on the dining table at home.
