Red ginger flowers are blooming like mad in all the neighbouring gardens, but mine is acting very pricey! 
The orange flowers of the Pereskia open in the evening. The plant is very prickly. 
Blue angelonia has a fruity scent. 
The mantid on the pentas is a friend of the garden. He waits patiently on the flower and captures quite a few insects. You can see him clearly if you click on the picture. 
I am glad that my garden is a home for creatures like mantids, spiders , frogs and coucals, who dine on of most of the pests.You can see flowers from all over the world at http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.com
Beautiful and colourful blooms in your garden today!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flowers... And I agree on all the animal guests; I too am glad that my family's gardens are all sufficiently natural and chemical-free for many beneficial creatures to find a home.
ReplyDeleteLove the colourful array of flowers. Portulaca has been nicknamed by a friend of mine as 'office flowers' as they do a 9-to-5 job!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers and colors! Your photos always add such lovely color and beauty to my day! Superb captures as always! Have a wonderful week!

Portulacs are a staple in my troughs, I love their exuberance and brilliant flowers; easy to grow too! Pentas are my favourites, the soft lilac looks so pretty. Love the gingers, sometimes they flower in abundance and sometimes they are a bit shy! Lovely, your today's flower show.
ReplyDeleteWhat a collection! All the blooms are gorgeous! Beautiful shade in that penta!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers.

I look at your Bambusa and feel transported to those far away, distant oriental gardens or the one in Brooklyn. Pretty cool if you ask yours truly.
