| Other Details | Brunfelsia is aptly named as yesterday today tomorrow because 3 coloured flowers are simultaneously present on a single plant. The new flower is deep purple, the next day it turns light purple, and on the third day it is white. This plant can be adapted anywhere where the weather is like Karachi. The flowers are sweetly scented. A solitary plant in good condition will cover itself with hundreds of flowers. The seeds, if formed, are toxic. Interestingly enough, the plant belongs to the potato family. Almost pest free except occasional aphids. |
