Flowers from the Visayas

Pittosporum pentandrum
Tabernaemontana
 Quick Post: I was checking my plants in the garden and found 2 of my seedlings from seeds now tall and flowering:  The first one is Pittosporum pentandrum, which I brought back from a friend's property in Bohol.  My specimen is now taller than I am and flowering.  The flowers are frequented by bees.  The second one is Tabernaemontana which I collected from a resort in Puerto Galera in Mindoro.  3 specimens grew from seeds and brought out minute white flowers. The flowers developed into the unique seed pods.  Can't wait for them to turn red.

Wow! New layout! I like the mosaic look.

Taller than you?!! How long have you had your Pittosporum?
