When I was compiling information on Dombeya wallichii, I saw there is a similar plant called Dombeya ‘Seminole’ at the LA Arboretum. The Dombeya wallichii flower has a fragrance and the flowers hang downward. Dombeya ‘Seminole’ has no fragrance and the flowers stand upright. Dombeya ‘Seminole’ pink showy flowers grow in clusters and attract bees, birds and butterflies.
我在整理非洲芙蓉的資料時，看到洛杉磯植物園有一種類似的植物叫 Dombeya ‘Seminole’。非洲芙蓉的花有香味，花向下垂。Dombeya ‘Seminole’ 的花沒有香味，花朵直立。Dombeya ‘Seminole’ 的粉紅色艷麗花朵成簇生長，吸引蜜蜂、鳥類和蝴蝶。
