Allamanda as Yellow Bell, Golden Trumpet or Buttercup Flower.


Allamanda as Yellow Bell.

In my mini garden, I have this sun-lover shrub called locally as Yellow Bell. All year round this shrub flowers continuously and doesn't need constant care as long as it's being watered everyday.

Brief information about this shrub:

The scientific name of Yellow Bell, Golden Trumpet or Buttercup Flower is Allamanda, a genus of vines or tropical shrubs belonging to the dogbane family (Apocynaceae). It's a woody, evergreen shrub that grows vigorously to height of 2 metres or more. The leaves are leathery, lancelike, and pointed in shape. The yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers are 5-7.5 centimetres in diameter which may vary in color such as white, purple, pink or orange. The flowers have delicate and fruity scents that entice the bees or butterflies to drop by.
