I would like to dedicate this post to Rainfield61, from our Pearl of the Orient, Penang, Malaysia of My Journey blog, the first commenter of my previous "Kesidang" post. He jungle escapades at his 'other home' at Cerok Tekun never fails to remind me of The Adventures of Sinbad the Sailor and his stories are as interesting as in 1,001 Nights!
Hi Autumn Belle! Wonderful flowers! I want to sit on that bench and admire them!
ReplyDeleteHey, Tatyana got ahead of me, when i have just checked your site and there was no post yet. hehe. I don't seem to be familiar with this one again, does it have a garlic flavor when crushed? If so then i know it, if not then i don't.
ReplyDeleteI am with Tatyana. I would like to take a cup of coffee and relax in that garden seat, admiring the flowers.
ReplyDeleteDear Autumn Belle, What a joyous way to start a rather grey and chilly Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I like the color .
ReplyDeleteMy WW link for you
Hiiiii,
ReplyDeleteLovely Purple Blooms! Beautifully Captured :)
The Secret Garden has so many lovely flowers. This is one of them. I have to pay another visit soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I can't wait until we have flowers here.
ReplyDeleteThe plant can really spread and maintain its beautiful and delicate feature. The flowers are cute.. ~bangchik
ReplyDeleteLOVE that first one especially. Such beautiful color.
ReplyDeleteWoah..super lovely..these flwoers are gorgeous!! yay! Happy Ww!
ReplyDeletekiki~
I love the colour of this flower, so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh!! I have seen my name somewhere in your blog.
ReplyDeleteSurprise ans thanks, from the Pearl of Orient.
I love the colour. Have a nice day/Gela
ReplyDeleteHi Autumn. The vine is so pretty and you have your trimmed up into such a beautiful shape. The blooms must be fairly large on it too.
ReplyDeleteLona
Beautiful flowers and such a serene and tranquil garden.
ReplyDeleteI like the way how this vine is used as shade also ;-) It is good to have some benches at the garden... good for people who are tired.
ReplyDeleteHello Autumn Belle, I have a similar vine in a large pot and am looking for a spot for it in the garden. I have an idea but it is near the ponds but I don't want leaves or flowers falling into the pond.
ReplyDeleteThe flower on this plant is such a beautiful colour. I really love that last photo ... such a gorgeous spot in the garden.
ReplyDeleteHave you noticed that most of these types have different names but have the same shape like the Allamanda flower.
ReplyDeleteI guess the blue, the purple, the yellow, the whites are all poisonous?
Whenever that is, if they have the milk sap.
Wow! That "glowvine" common name sounds about right. We don't have anything like that here (that is native) but I do enjoy seeing it in photos. :) I hope it smells nice, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your kind words and compliments. I appreciate your visits very much.
ReplyDeleteTatyana and Lotusleaf. Sitting on the bench is exactly what I like to do every time I visit. Benches are placed at strategic spots for us to enjoy the view, rest and relax and for me to wipe my sweat and reload my camera batteries. Some people even bring in newspapers to read.
James, the flowers do look like a softer version of the allamanda. At the moment, I don't have any info on whether it is poisonous or not.
Some additional info about Saritaea magnifica:
It is a highly ornamental and attractive vine that can be grown on the ground, trained on a pergola or trellis and just as good on a container.
It has yellow-throated, mauve bell-shaped flowers in brilliant clusters that are 2-3" diameter. Flowers are scented and bloom from spring to fall.
Foliage is green and glossy.
it looks like a lilac yellowbell
ReplyDeletei'm hunting for this one... still haven't seen it for sale @ sungai buloh....
ReplyDeleteYF, I do have the same experience as you. We just have to keep looking. They may appear in the most unlikely time and place.
