Right now we still do have lovely Fragrant Flowers from the Clerodendrum Philippinum - Cashmere Bouquet.
They do resemble tiny rosebuds!
Enjoy the following photos that husband Pieter took...

This is the foliage from the plant, which we keep in a planter box on the patio near the green house.
This exotic treasure we did find at +Logee's Greenhouses and it is best to plant this one in planter boxes as it can become quite invasive otherwise.
We did carry this exotic beauty to a birthday party, for a dear friend who is born in the Philippines... thought it is quite appropriate. It makes a very nice nosegay, on a glass jar with a cord or a linen string tied around.
Have you ever grown these Clerodendrum Philippinum - Cashmere Bouquet?
how beautiful! i like how they are clustered!
ReplyDeleteDearest Theresa,
DeleteYes, they are all clustered on ONE stem, that is so good about being able to snip them off and put inside a small vase. Looks just lovely without the leaves.
Hugs,
Mariette
Looks very pretty. Sounds like you need to make sure it does not escape from that pot.
ReplyDeleteHugs kay
Dearest Kay,
DeleteWhen planted inside a container, you are fine, otherwise the root system keeps spreading and it is very invasive indeed!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeletewhat a Beauty this is! wonderful!
Love and hugs,
Claudia
Dearest Claudia,
DeleteThe blossoms sure are; not so much the leaves... Their fragrance is an added bonus as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
Mariette!Come sono belle e delicate!Una meraviglia!Baci,Rosetta
ReplyDeleteCara Rosetta,
DeleteSì, queste infatti sono molto graziosi e delicati fiorellini, come rosa!
Baci,
Mariette
Mooi, het lijken net pioenrozen, maar deze zijn kleiner geloof ik.
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteJazeker zijn ze kleiner, allemaal samen zijn ze amper de doorsnee van een gezonde pioenroos. Het lijken meer mini-roosjes in een boeketje.
Liefs,
Mariette
This beautiful flower sure look like many tiny rosebuds, Dearest Mariette ♡♡♡ Thank you very much for the word "nosegay" -:)
ReplyDeleteSending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Dearest Miyako,
DeleteThese tiny rosebud-like flowers indeed look like a lovely 'nosegay' of roses!
Hugs and love back from across the ocean to you from Georgia/USA.

Hello Mariette, A very unusual flower--I have one question: How large across is the central cluster?
ReplyDelete--Jim
Dearest Jim,
DeleteOne such central cluster is about 3-4 inches across and they are on one stem. Indeed resembling a perfect little nosegay of tiny roses! The foliage is huge but still these sweet fragrant flowers make up for that.
Kindest regards,
Mariette
They are such beautiful flowers, sure look like tiny rosebuds!
ReplyDeleteIt's very sweet you brought it for your friend born in Philippines. It must made your friend very happy!
Dearest Tamago,
DeleteOh these flowers are little gems and especially when cut off for use in a little vase.
Yes, our friend from the Philippines loved them very much!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,such beautiful little flowers!
ReplyDeleteGreat closeups!Wonderful pictures indeed!
Have a lovely day!Hugs!
Dimi...
Dearest Dimi,
DeleteThese are indeed little beauties and deserve to be highlighted! The foliage almost does hide them it appears...
Enjoy a lovely day as well and sending you hugs.
