Kamini Bush , Indian origin, botanical name Murraya paniculata, a beautiful flowering bush that grows with abandon and gives plenty of blooms. we have two bushes growing one is a bit slow in flwoering and the other grows like wild! also known as Kunti, banmallika, pandhri and many other names.
Our previous kamini bush had not flowered for years and I had begun to doubt its existence, when our parakeet enjoyed the garden plants, nibbled on to the new shoots and this triggered the flowering spurt and then the kamini bush had given plenty of blooms, trimming had worked for flowering.

With our mogra plants now getting the growth spurt the summer heat is welcomed by the fragrant flowers in our terrace garden. The white fragrant mogra blooms are excellent boost to nervous system and mind to beat the summer cool nights. As the tiny oranges come to life from white fragrant citrus smelling flowers so also the kamini bush has bloomed well with lots of tiny white fragrant blooms.

Flowers on the orange plant and kamini bush look almost same except that the kamini bush produces more tubular funnel shaped flowers. The fragrance is almost the same, those who have this kamini bush swear by the fragrance of its blooms, citrus, orangy, tangy, fruity strong fragrance.
The long pointed thin stems must be trimmed giving shape to the kamini bush to encourage new growth and flowering

The kamini bush does not require much care except for watering and
few feedings for flowering. Trimming always helps to trigger flowering
in the bush and this kamini bush can grow into a big tree if allowed
the liberty.
