Impatiens columbaria

Impatiens columbaria

Impatiens columbaria – the “Pink Dove” impatiens – is a newly discovered plant from the rain forest of Gabun, West Africa. This unusual species is a very untypical impatiens. With its rounded, hairy leaves it looks like a member of the family of Gesneriaceae. It has numerous blossoms and the flowers are exotic pink. A fascinating species that’s extremely rare and I’m happy to have it in my collection.

Embreea rodigasiana

The first blossoming of my Embreea rodigasiana. It’s an import from Ecuador, has an intense fragrance and is very beautiful. Likes it warm and moist.

Lonicera hildebrandiana – Honeysuckle

 

Honeysuckles, as they are also called, are arching shrubs or twining vines in the family Caprifoliaceae, with up to 180 species. This one is a Lonicera hildebrandiana and was discovered and documented in 1890 by Henry Collett and William Botting Hemsley.

The sweetly-scented, cone-shaped flowers are yellow-white and borne in clusters. My 30cm small plant has already blossomed.

Lonicera hildebrandiana originates from China, Myanmar and Thailand. The plant likes sun or light shade and can bear with temperatures slightly below 0º C. It grows on sandy/stoney loam earth and likes fresh and humid substrates.
