What's flowering in my garden today

There is quite a lot flowering now, here's just a few.

Many of the cordylines are flowering, this is just one of them




Justicia


White butterfly ginger is still flowering


The spadix on the Anthurium scherzerianum is getting curlier




My new Tillandsia stricta

Very pretty Gail.. I too have similar plants flowering..

That Anthurium scherzerianum is a beauty ..

Thank Gail, something nice and cheering on a dull day down Sth

That's what I was thinking , Cheryl, and nice to see plants that may not grow too well in your own area. The Justicia and white butterfly ginger are lovely.

Thanks. These won't be flowering for much longer with winter coming. Most of the plants we are growing here flower through spring, summer and autumn so we have to rely on the coloured foliage plants to brighten up those horrible cold winter days... roll on spring!

The Justica is my favourite. I used to have a couple of different colours once . They all are lovely.

Nice selection!

I've got the pink but I noticed today that my white is looking a bit dead.

Thanks.

I have only got the one justicia here. Shame about your white Bubba, hopefully there might still be a little green shoot somewhere on it. Gwen have you still got any of this one?

No not now Gail

I'm going to dig it up tomorrow and see if there's signs of life.

oh i love the justicia! are they very drought tolerant? what sort of conditions do they like?

Ota, the justicia is tropical/sub-tropical and likes an average amoutn of water... though survives here without regular watering but does get some... it would do better with more.

ah, well it probably wouldnt like it here then, too dry over summer and im battling to keep the water up to the plants as it is . oh well, it's a beautiful plant!
