The Sunset Bells, Chrysothemis pulchella is flowering in my garden now. It will go into hiding in a couple of months.
The Lobster Claw heliconia flowers last for two months.
The Cockscomb is aptly named. It is proud and cocky.
The Firespike Odontonema strictum has fiery flowers.
Spotted Heart Stictocardia tiliolia is so named because of its heart shaped leaves.
Thanks to the team of Show Your World.
What gorgeous, breathtaking flowers and colors! Your photos are superb as always! And so many flowers that I've never seen make your posts even more interesting! Have a wonderful week!

Your flowers are stunning, as usual. I had never heard of the sunset bells or the spotted heart but they are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAll your tropical plants have such vivid colors, unlike mine here in CO that are more muted. I have not seen Cockscomb since I was a little girl - my Mother used to grow it.
ReplyDeleteI never get tired of those pendant heliconia blooms! The lobster claw was my first favorite. The firespike is just starting to come into bloom here and will keep blooming until frost in ate December or January.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a colorful world around you. Simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust so beautiful.

I enjoyed all your bright colourful flowers, and have been meaning to ask what flowers you have in your header - they are lovely. In a way similar to my pigeon pea flowers with the red and yellow.
ReplyDeleteI love the boldness of the colours … some of the flowers remind me of tropical birds. Thank you for sharing pictures of these lovely flowers.

The red and gold of the tropics. So vibrant, so exotic. Love the Heliconia and I am always amazed how easily they produce such bold and beautiful flowers.

ReplyDeleteJust love all the red and gold ... fabulous plants! Particularly amazed by your Cockscomb - they look like a coral garden.
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome plants! Love the "brain coral" cockscomb! And the bloom on that Spotted Heart is spectacular. Can anything be more tropical than a lobster claw. Great choices!
