Petals creamy yellow, with deep wine-red eye to flower / interior base of petals. Leaves not sticky to the touch. Planted and grown as part of the NYBG African American Garden: The Caribbean Experience at the Edible Academy. This garden was created to provide a brief look at the history of the African American and African Diaspora experience in the Caribbean through the lens of plants, consisting of eight sections and beds: Cane, Roots, Stewpot, Flavor, Creativity, Abundance, Remedies, Transformation. In these eight beds, you will find stories of resilience and resistance, modification and migration, remembrance, reverence, and more told through the plants of our world. Curated by Jessica B.
