Orange coloured flowers are in abundance this season. On top are the flowers of Sanchezia, which has become a big shrub in my garden. Its leaves are also very striking.
The orange flowers of the Crucifix orchid stay for a long time. These flowers which have no nectar to offer the pollinators, mimic the Asclepia flowers and attract butterflies!
The volunteer Nasturtium is putting out orange flowers. The leaves, flowers and seeds of the Nasturtium are edible. I use the leaves in salads.
The reluctant Gerbera.
My Strelitzia has become quite unruly in appearance, but it seems to like it. It is comming out with plenty of flowers and buds now.
I thank Santilli, Denise, Pupo and Sandy Carlson for hosting Today's Flowers.
All the flowers here are so pretty, I can't make up my mind which is the best one, cos all of them are well taken.
ReplyDeleteHow vibrant amazing!

A wonderful range of beautiful orange flowers! Just the first one I did not know at all!
ReplyDeleteStrelitzia is very unique... we seldom see blue combining with yellow/orange in a flower!
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers here. The blue on the orange is especially lovely.

It is great to see the flowers in your garden, you always have such a wealth of them!
ReplyDeletePretty series of flowers! I like your gerbera.
ReplyDeleteLove the first two as they aren't common around here. That blue (on the Strelitzia) sure looks good against that orange. I got the plants recently but I think I'll have to wait for a while before they bloom.
ReplyDeleteluscious colors! the crucifix orchid is beautiful.
