Today's Flowers- Last of 2010

Hibiscus is coming out of its sleep.
The Amazon lilies have started blooming now. The white blooms have a freenish fringed cup inside. They perfume the garden with an elusive perfume in the night.

Thunbergia Mysorensis vine is starting to bloom with its usual vigour. The strands of flowers are going to cover the entire Amla tree in the new year.


Matchstick plants are in full flower now.



The maroon Shrimp plant Pachystachis lutea is putting out plenty of bracts to compete with its floriferous yellow sister.

  14. Hi Lotusleaf, Christmas has already closed its door but the new year asks for entry. Hope it will be a good one for all. I love all those tropical beauties. T.Mysorensis grows up a Photinia in my garden. It looks spectacular. Have you ever made cuttings from them? and when how? I am an avid Bromeliad grower, the so called matchstick plant is a fave of mine.
