Glory Bush sounds like a great way to kick off the weekend!!!
Send me one, please.My Manacá this morning. This is a native from São Paulo, where I live.
Flowers open in white, get pink at noon and die purple in the evening, so one gets the three colours at the same time during the day.
from Wikipedia:
"Tibouchina mutabilis is an evergreen tree with an open crown that grows in Brazil , mainly at the Serra do Mar zone.
Also known as glory bush in Australia, where it is a popular ornamental plant.
In Brazil, it is named Manacá-da-serra."

I wish I could!Send me one, please.
Oh well...It sure is pretty though.I wish I could!
It needs plenty of humidity, mist in the morning, and low altitude hills to grow in nature. Coastal rain forests to be more precise. Not easy to care in other climates, I guess.
This one has been blooming it's brains out for months. View attachment 246212
