Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow #blogboost

At Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida, we ran across a beautiful blooming tree called Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

The blooms open as dark violet, then lighten, and in its final hours, turns white.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Alas, this is another plant I can't grow in my upstate New York zone 5b garden, as it is only hardy to zone 9.

Another plant for my dreams, along with the camilla (which I did try to grow in my yard, and it didn't end well for the plant) and crepe myrtle, which can grow in Southern New York State but not where I live.

Day 18 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge #blogboost.

    Beautiful. Sigh, the zones are not conducive to the plants and flowers I like. sigh. Have a great day, regardless of the weather.

    This has the most beautiful scent ... I had a few bushes in South Africa - and some were outside the bedroom windows ... just wonderful - lovely to see it again. Cheers Hilary
