Old woody vine,

new leaves,

generous buds

and large flowers in an array of colours !

The woody climber had gone into hibernation during the last four months and now it’s blooming again prodded on by the summer’s heat and rain. The last time, I saw only one colour of the Allamanda👉POTD: Allamanda 💮, a magenta shade but now there are four more !

The golden yellow is the most commonly seen one, followed by the magenta colour. The golden yellow allamanda is a favourite in Kerala gardens; it’s made to climb up and spread around an umbrella shaped cast iron support; the yellow flowers are big and bold and radiate sunshine and happiness.

Till next post, take care !!
