Today I remembered this "Yesterday Today and Tomorrow" plant in my home because I came across LOTS........ of those in a plant exhibition. That is a really nice plant which gives us a five petal flower.So what is interesting about this plant? What drove me to WRITE about it....??
Its the flower which drove me to write this post. "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" plant has a flower which changes its colour according to the days it lasts.????mmm... Confused?
If I explain it in simple terms, it last for three days. The flower is purple in colour on the first day that it blooms. Then in the next day, it becomes light purple. And in the third day it becomes white. That is how the plant got it's name.
How ever when it blooms, it gives out a fragrance that we will never forget. And it is really nice to see the flowers from here and there covering the whole tree.Some are are purple and some are white. Like a MAGIC plant.
This "YTT" ( lets shorten the name), flower really likes sun exposure. I have grown mine under a shade, on earth. It gives out flowers occasionally. It is seated under our mango tree. When we trim our mango tree, then YTT gives out a lot of flowers. So........, to me it is obvious that YTT loves sun.
How can we reproduce YTT? Well, it is said that YTT can be grown by seating it's branches on soil. I haven't tried this. And tomorrow I am going to try it... Then I'l update this post when it grows well.
My YTT plant is a big one. I am going to try seating on a flower pot tomorrow. I have seen YTTs grown in small scales, inside the flower pots.So let me try tomorrow.
Here is a picture of some YTT flowers of mine. Have a look at it. Hope you get it's lovely fragrance too.
