Today's Flowers

 In spite of the unprecedented drought and heat, some flowers are blooming in my garden.

 These delicate flowers belong to the family Gesnariaceae., but I don't know its name.

 The Bat Flower has finally decided to call it a day. Now you can see many small flowers in it.

You can see lovely flowers from all over the world at Today's Flowers.
