Hey all! This mystery plant was fallen on a long time ago and thus, has never flowered until about 2 weeks ago. I've done a lot of research and can't seem to figure it out - I think it's one of the many sub-species under the Tabernaemontana genus or a rhododendron-esque sort of plant? It's in a pot and has a bush-like/shrubby sort of shape. Any help would be greatly appreciated - this plant holds a lot of sentimental value and I'd love to be able to look after it properly. Thanks!
this is not a gardenia flower by any stretch. but I have never seen this before. but, is the flower waxy or soft and tender? the foliage a rosette or a branching plant? does it grow in the shade or full sun? its a beautiful flower and I hope someone can help... I haven't seen purpleinop for a while but hopefully she is well and able to pop in sometime and take a looksee. maybe she knows. her knowledge is vast for a more tropical type flower.
this is known as a pinwheel flower and yours doesn't look like a "pinwheel" flower. very similar but it doesn't have the swirl associated with the others I am seeing.
The flower looks like it was cut from one piece of fabric.....just saying there are no individual petals like most flowers.
