A compilation of all the plants I capture using camera phone N93i for study and inspiration (All images taken since July 2007) This collection is in my pursuit for a comprehensive list of tropical plants for "da Malaysian garden defined" project - LAMAN KAMBATIK or the Kambatik Garden.
I have always love gardenia in general. But this particular one Gardenia Carinata is so beautiful. I found the bush type of this Gardenia recently at a nursery near my home at Kinrara Highway to Puchong.
ReplyDeleteI was living in Hawaii from 1995 to 2003. Around year 2000 to 2001, this Gardenia was so popular whenever there's a huge plant sales from the Nurseries in Hawaii. I found the below website recently for you to see. (http://toptropicals.com/catalog/uid/GARDENIA_TUBIFERA.htm)
I hope Gardeners and Plant Nurseries in Malaysia learn from Hawaii how they managed to commercialize a tree gardenia to become a bushy potted plant. It was just so beautiful.
When I went to a Plant show at UPM many years ago, many of them said were unfamiliar with the bushy type of this gardenia. I realized that they just don't really care the value that this species can bring to us.
The one that I just bought for my garden was brought down from Thailand and not as healthy as the one in Hawaii. (http://dwenujang.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-gardenias-are-blooming.html)
