I cannot guess why this beautiful plant is loosing popularity as an ornamental.. perhaps longer life-span and lesser period in flowering……. These days they are going for exotic plants like Dahlia, Zinnia, Cosmos, Adenium, Techoma, Alamanda, various shades of roses and Hibiscus, ornamental cycas and many many more i do not know. However, a few of those Dahlia, Zinnia, roses were also present in my childhood. is this wild or in someone’s garden The owner has this plant in his front yard.
If i remember well, i found this species in wild as well, though years ago. Found this plant again, this time in the wild. It is growing beside a ditch along a rural roadside. I think i can collect some seeds, for my mom too.
