Dougherty Garden - Buddha Belly - September 18, 2018

Here is one plant that I have labeled under flowers. As far as I'm concerned, if it has a flower, I put it under Dougherty Garden - Flowers. Here is the Buddha Belly. As the plant grows, the base, or , the belly expands, and produces green leaves from the top. The flowers are small and an orange color, a shown above. The plant knows how to survive by producing these seeds pods that will explode over time and throw seeds about the landscape. it makes a great potted plant and loved full sun.

Scientific Name: Jatropha podagrica

Common Name: Buddha Belly, Gout plant

That covers another plant from the Dougherty Garden. Enjoy,

Marty Dougherty
