Yellowbell Flowers

Allamanda, also known as the yellow bell flower or the golden trumpet, is a tropical shrub or vine. It is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apocynaceae. They have become naturalized throughout the tropics, growing in open, sunny areas with adequate rainfall and perpetually moist substrate. They can be propagated from cuttings.

The bright yellow flowers on the Allamanda vine have overlapping petals that create a trumpet shape. Flowers come into bloom in groups of two or three which come from the tip of stem growth.

Yellow bell flowers have evergreen foliage. The vines are commonly pruned to form a short flowering shrub. The plant is a rapid grower and will quickly vine through a trellis, or across a wall.

According to Plant Information, the Allamanda has been used by herbalists to treat a number of conditions including jaundice, malaria and constipation. It has also proven to have antibiotic properties effective against staphylococcus.
