Flowers for Today

The bright yellow of this flower lifts the gloom on an overcast day. I have not been able to find its botanial name.
The Rabbit Ears Ruttya fruticosa is new addition to my garden. It is a native of East Africa, where it is called Jammy Mouth. It attracts butterflies. It has a curious shape and is full of nectar. One of its petals has a prominent black marking.
The Chocolate Plant Pseuderanthemum elatum has leaves the colour of milk chocolate. It is flowering in all sorts of nooks in my garden.
The Oxalis triangularis was a present from my friend Kanak. Its deep burgandy leaves contrast with its pale pink flowers.
This Golden Duranta has uncommon pale violet flowers which fall in cascades.
You can see loads of flowers from all parts of the world at Today's Flowers.
