Jacobina Carnea Flower

Pink Jacobina Carnea Flower


This gorgeous flower is called Jacobina Carnea, according to the stake on the ground! Really, I took a picture of the sign too. They are native of Brazil, and can be seen at the Belle Isle Conservatory in Detroit.

It is one of the most beautiful flower to see in the Conservatory, and usually in full bloomed sometime in September to October as far as I know. My camera recorded the date I was there, and it doesn't lie :-)

Jacobina Carnea is a tropical plant, and could grow up to 5 feet tall if not regularly prune. It loves full sunlight, little shade, and needs water regularly for maximum growth.
