Dewy white Mussaenda and its bright orange flower

I've loved pink Mussaenda for years, but this delicate new white one was quite a surprise! I've been watching ever since my neighbor planted two bushes in her front yard six months ago. I must say I was a bit skeptical about a white Mussaenda... the pink one is so gorgeous. Like Bougainvillea, the flower of Mussaenda is tiny. The parts most people think are the flower are actually specialized leaves or bracts.

But I'm stunned and in awe at her delicacy and subtlety. The elegance of the shadows she casts. Today the golden flower is fabulously on display in the white shadowy tones of this gorgeous shrub.
