Dipladenia amabilis

Abstract

IF it is not already well known, it may interest some of your readers to hear that flowers of the Dipladenia amabilis last for a much longer time when placed in water if their tubes be also filled. Even when “too utterly weary” they can be revived in the manner I have mentioned. This may have reference to the fact that these flowers, unlike many creepers, generally turn upwards, and would therefore be likely to catch rainwater.
