There are two types of this plant. One gives purple flower and the other gives white flower. They are gorgeous looking and I try to cross pollinate them to see whether they give any seeds. I saw another type in my friend's garden in Malaysia which gives white and purple coloured patches in a single flower. I was thinking whether this was caused by the cross-pollination of the purple and white flowers. Anyway, I will ask my friend to pass me a single stalk so that I can grow them.
Purple & white flower |
I notice that this plant likes to be in the sunny place. The leaves will open widely under the sun. When night falls, the leaves will fold up in a closed position.
The flower will only bloom for one day. So, when it blooms, quickly enjoy the flower and then at night the flower will collapse. But a new bud will grow quickly and the flower will bloom again in a week or so.
What is the name of this plant/flower? |
The white version, what is this plant's name? |
