One more exotic and highly fragrant beauty I would like to introduce to you. Clerodendrum Philippinum or Cashmere Bouquet. They look like tiny rosebuds and are white with a pinkish blush. Logee's in Connecticut does sell this variety, see link below post.
Complete with ant, as they sure love the sweet fragrance too!
Even its leaves are beautiful...
Perfect for a small vase; this is ONE stem...
Don't you love this Cashmere Bouquet as they are called?
By the way, yesterday I did forget to add the most beautiful photo we had from our Blue Butterfly Bush. You can view it here: 2004 photo from our exotic Clerondendrum Ugandense - Blue Butterfly Bush

Dearest Fabby,
DeleteThose are lovely flowers and the ant makes them look real!
Hugs,
Mariette
Those flowers are so perfect that they almost don't look real - almost. I wish I could smell the scent you describe. It sounds divine.
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't commented in a while. After the loss we faced, I needed to take a blogging break - but I visit when I can. <3
Dearest Stacy,
DeleteAt times we just need to nurture our soul and abandon other things. No apology needed here. Receive a warm embrace and lots of love,

The Cashmere Bouquet is absolutely gorgeous. I love the way you have arranged it and choice of vase. I have not seen this flower before and not only is it beautiful the name is extraordinary. Thank you for sharing it.. hugs and blessings, C. (HHL)
ReplyDeleteDearest Celia,
DeleteThank you for your visit and comment. Again this exotic beauty we found at Logee's Greenhouses. They have the most surprising plants!
Hugs,
Mariette
Grazie per mostrare fiori così belli che qui non conosco.Baci,Rosetta
ReplyDeleteCara Rosetta,
DeleteMi piace molto per mostrarli! Sono così belli...
Baci,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette, You never cease to amaze me. Your knowledge and propagation of unique plants is awesome. Your Cashmere bouquet is so lovely and all on one stem...Wow. I wish I could smell the fragrance.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and love to you, Ginger
Dearest Ginger,
DeleteThis is what happens if you are the son and daughter of a market gardener and when you travel the world you discover its flora and fauna. Logee's Greenhouses have been doing the very same for over one century, collecting from all around the world. So if we know some tropical exotics, they more than likely have them for sale in their collection! They have been a great source for us over the past decades.
Enjoy your week as well, hope no more heavy rain!
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThese flowers are beautiful I did not know they were Cashmere bouquet. My husband says that they are beautiful. We have a soap by that name in India.
Dearest Munir,
DeleteCashmere bouquet is not their botanical name but a common name. In Europe we more go by the botanical name but here in the USA often they use a common name. But with Google, you can find almost anything. We know this tropical plant source for decades now and they are excellent. A family business for over one century.
Hugs to you both,
Mariette
Wat een mooie bloem zeg !!!...prachtig...liefs fijne week....van mij...x !
ReplyDeleteBeste Ria,

Dear Mariette, how lovely!!! Thank you so much for sharing this beauty.
ReplyDeleteDearest Linda,
DeleteGlad you got to see this special flower as it is extraordinary.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
Lieve Mariette,
ReplyDeleteWat laat jij ons telkens weer genieten van prachtige foto's van jullie bijzondere bloemenpracht.
Ik ken deze bloem niet,maar weet inmiddels dat ze in Nederland ook Kansenboom heet.
En wanneer ik met de naam Cashmere Bouquet op afbeeldingen Google dan krijg ik me toch 'n partij nostalgisch ,romantische plaatjes te zien....
Fijne dag en lieve groet!!
Ger
Lieve Ger,
DeleteJa natuurlijk hebben ze wel alle planten in Nederland; hèt bloemenland bij uitstek! De Clerodendrums zijn een erg exotische groep!
Lieve groetjes en de dag was mooi en droog, tot op het onweer van zojuist na... Morgen komen de railings voor het balkon; dus kunnen we vooruit.
Mariette

che buon profumo.....
Mariette grazie per gli auguri,
ti sei ricordata, che dolce!
Love Susy ♥
Cara Susy,
DeleteHai ragione, sembrano di velluto e con profumi deliziosi. Oh, ci sono tanti fiori in tutto il mondo, non può mai aver vistili tutti.
Per ricordare il tuo compleanno, mi fa piacere.
Baci,
Mariette
Good Morning Mariette, This is such a pretty plant and to place one stem in a vase is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love an overflowing vase of flowers, but there are too many flowers to distract me.... the whole bouquet is appreciated, but by having just one bloom in a vase this gives me the opportunity to enjoy it's singular beauty.... without distraction.
Best Wishes
Daphne
Dearest Daphne,
DeleteOh, these stems with full bouquet work perfect for filling a cute little vase. Thanks for visiting.
Hugs,
Mariette

Oh what pretty flowers! Cashmere Bouquet is very good name for this lovely flower. I like the very soft pink color. But it is just one stem? So these flowers are from one stem? Wow!
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteIndeed, these flowers are all borne on one single stem! That is the beauty of this shrub.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette.

Michiko
Dearest Michiko,
DeleteIt was a pleasure introducing these exotic Clerodendrum shrubs to you. They need to be seen and appreciated by more people. Indeed the 2004 photo showed a much more intense blue on that Clerodendrum Ugandense, Blue Butterfly flower.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
It's a beautiful flower and so cute with the ant.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Dearest Elna,
DeleteThank you and you got a very keen observative eye for spotting the ant.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette
ReplyDeleteThe very first thing I thought of was that those flowers are so perfect that they appear to be artificial.
Awesome!
Hugs to you
Kajsa
Dearest Kajsa,
DeleteNo these exotics are for real and with a lovely fragrance too. Their sweetness did at least attract this ant...
Hugs,
Mariette
