Help with ID please, interesting shrub

Post by aykhan »

I got this shrub last year and finally saw a bloom today. It was sold to me as a Tabebuia Blue Shrub, not sure what it exactly is. The flower has some fragrance.

I am wondering if by sheer luck I have stumbled upon Radermachera kunming, a tree shrub I have been looking to get for some time??

I saw this plant today at Wahab from Thailand at Wahab Nursery. They were calling it Kamini and selling for Rs 1000. Is the local name Kamini.

Thank you for the thread. This plant is being sold under various names, from Rs. 300 to 1000.
I bought six and lost three this winter. When the leaves started falling I asked Lahore nursery and was told not to worry.
Know I know WHY I LOST THEM
