Nature is full of surprises. From the soft greenness of grass to the intricate details of a forest, nature offers constant beauty and amazement. The prospect of discovering and understanding new phenomena keeps people motivated and excited to explore the natural world. Last year, My hibiscus plant at home had two color of flowers blooming at the same time. Recently, I was introduced to another breed of identical hibiscus called "cherry float" by @silversaver888. It is so strange, that, once we go out in nature, we may end up finding various nature's surprises which may amazes us. Yesterday, it was once such day, when I end up discovering a blooming Mussaenda flowers in my neighbor.
I kept an eye on these flower since long, but never cared to snap them, but yesterday, I went to the gentleman in my neighborhood to click some picture of this floral elegance.
These Yellow "Mussaenda" plants feature delicate, pale yellow, star-shaped flowers surrounded by creamy yellow or white, petall like bracts that are larger than the actual flowers and often turn white as the plant matures. The bright yellow flowers emerge from clusters at the tips of the branches, creating a vibrant and ornamental display against the backdrop of lush green leaves.
The presence of rain drops just make them look more attractive in its full bloom.
The most striking feature is the presence of large, petal-like sepals, or bracts, which are often a creamy yellow or white and are larger than the actual flower. These bracts surround the yellow flower. The true flowers are small, delicate, and pale yellow, with a star-like shape. Honestly, I never seen this flower before never heard of its name. It is only though the help of the internet, that I discover this beauty of the nature.
