The rooftop Secret Garden of 1-Utama is managed by a consultant botanist.<br /><br />It is the same as the one pictured in 1001 Garden Plants in Singapore. <br /><br />X youngii is a shrub to small tree but according to Wikipedia, X.verdugonianus is a medium sized tree of about 50-70 cm diameter.

I wonder why is a yellow flower tree called red penda? Anyway I have amended my post accordingly, i.e. deleted the word 'red'.<br /><br />Gippslandgardener, I'd be happy to know about any new developments about this plant in your area. Do post me a comment here later. I'd appreciate that.<br /><br />Stephanie, CheahHS, I am not surprise if you find these plants here since theres a nursery near to Tapah, Perak that sells it. There is indeed a certain resemblence to the red powder puff plant, Calliandra from afar. When I was at The Secret Garden, I saw another flower, Combretum that looks quite the same and got me confused. I have pictures of the combretum and will be posting up soon. Maybe you all can compare them.<br /><br />Tootsie, thanks for your visit. I have included my link to Fertilizer Friday. TQVM for hosting FF.<br /><br />Jama, the yellow ones are of another species i.e. Xanthostemon chrysanthus, common name Golden or Yellow penda. I have seen pictures of the flowers and they are very very beautiful. However, I am not surprise if Singapore has the X.youngii plants in many public places. <br /><br />Andrea, I love all your lovely flowers. Maraming Salamat!<br /><br />Bananaz, I am so happy I can dedicate this post to you. I think this X.youngii flowers and your yellow bunches of bananas are a good mix. I still can't forget the towering banana bunch picture and dancing jolly bananas in your blog. <br /><br />Now, I always who my next first commenter will be. The mystery is what excites me. Dedicating my next post to my first commenter has been a fun filled experience for me.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-55446699196561714322010-01-22T16:23:30.065+08:002010-01-22T16:23:30.065+08:00Not very sure but thought I see this quite a lot i...Not very sure but thought I see this quite a lot in Malaysia maybe could be almost the same kind?
