Today's Flowers #97

This flower is from my friend Dechu's garden. She said it is a Rutea- a family of flowers. The orangeflowers have an interesting black lip like Sturt's desert pea.
I found these flowering plants in a park. Butterflies flock to this plant.

This orange Ixora is from my garden.


The white Musseanda is loaded with flowers. The flowers shown below are the maroon bracts of the Shrimp Plant Pachystachis Lutea.



This is my contribution to Today's Flowers #97. My thanks to the team of Today's Flowers#97 .

  1. You have so many plants that are familiar to me ... I think the top one might be called Ruttya fruitcosa ... what we commonly call the Orange Bird or sometimes Rabbit's Ears. I've never grown that one ... and now you've got me interested in trying to find one!!!

    Your white Mussaenda is beautiful ... I only have one of these in my garden and it is such a stunning thing when in full bloom.

    The plant with the red flowers is the Firespike shrub - Odontonema cuspidatum. That's another quite common plant in my area. I just love those blooms.

    Love the colour of your Ixora and the Shrimp Plant always puts on such a great display. Thanks for showing more great photos.

  7. The orange lxora is really pretty. I think I have some kind of bugs in my garden because the leaves on all my flowers look like they've been eaten.

  8. Stephanie, that shrimp plant's colour is unusual.
    Lina, thanks.
    Rosebelle, Ixoras are the host plants for a type of butterfly. The catterpillars must have eaten your Ixora leaves.

  13. Ventura won that suit, and was awarded $1.8 million. Ventura has said that Kyle publisher or their insurance will pay the asard, not Kyle widow. But she insists that is not the case.. It is equipped with a level indicator that tells you when the battery will die out. A professional XLR microphone is included in this system. It also has retractable handles with wheels so that you can move it around easily. (tags: Jordan Shoes For Sale Cheap, 2020 Jordan Release Dates, Ray Ban Sunglasses Outlet)

Taking a cranky toddler shopping is not a good experience for anyone. Sometimes we are so busy going to extended families' homes we don't get to start our own family traditions. Try to have a leisurely Christmas morning with children enjoying their toys before rushing off to anywhere (tags: Cheap Real Yeezys, Discount Jordan Shoes Wholesale, Cheap Yeezys).
