A sizable shrub, which can occasionally reach dimensions resembling a small tree, showcases clusters of glossy flowers that are either white or lavender. Each bloom features five pointed petals and a delicate “crown” that rises from the center, housing the stamens. The foliage consists of oval, light green leaves, and the stems are milky in appearance. The flowers have a long-lasting presence, and in Thailand, they are utilized in various floral arrangements. They were also favored by Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii, who regarded them as a symbol of royalty and adorned herself with them in leis. In India, this plant is commonly found in temple courtyards. The fruit is a follicle, and when it dries, the seeds are dispersed by the wind. The seeds, equipped with a tuft of hairs resembling a parachute, delight small children who enjoy blowing them and watching them drift through the air. This plant serves as a habitat for a diverse array of insects and butterflies.
