That is so pretty! I had pictured cola flowers as being white--I have no idea why! It's much more showy than I would have imagined. Now THAT would be a prize for my tropical collection! Just wait 'til I get that greenhouse! ;) (I can dream, can't I?)

nice monochro, anyway to get seeds for this tree?
I've got a bunch of really old ones that we consume with coffee, but none that are germinatable.

Thanks for the comments ^.^

DeepRoots, I donīt know how to germinate it. Iīll try to get some seeds and try it myself. For now, I canīt answer that, sorry.

Emaewest, I saw pictures of this flower with a rather white color, but found it described with white to pale yellow. This flower was in shade, so it looks a bit darker than it really was (the original color is pale yellow). I kinda loved the color effect of this picture, though
