Flowers 2019

[LanceMac10]

Glory Bush sounds like a great way to kick off the weekend!!!

My Manacá this morning. This is a native from São Paulo, where I live.
Flowers open in white, get pink at noon and die purple in the evening, so one gets the three colours at the same time during the day.
from Wikipedia:
"Tibouchina mutabilis is an evergreen tree with an open crown that grows in Brazil , mainly at the Serra do Mar zone.
Also known as glory bush in Australia, where it is a popular ornamental plant.
In Brazil, it is named Manacá-da-serra."

Send me one, please.

Send me one, please.

I wish I could!
It needs plenty of humidity, mist in the morning, and low altitude hills to grow in nature. Coastal rain forests to be more precise. Not easy to care in other climates, I guess.

Oh well...It sure is pretty though.

Had this Clivia for a couple of years, never bloomed before. I like it!

Satsuki 'Akemi-no-Tsuki'
An azalea I picked up from David Kreutz in 2018. Because it is a 2017 or 2018 import, I removed most of the flower buds in autumn and over the winter. I wanted to get it established first before a full bloom.






I have a lot of pruning and wiring to do this year.

Gray Santolina. Worst smelling ever.

One of these days I will have enough foliage to cover up this hideous trunk.

Balloon flower in the midst of the leaves the southern magnolia litters our patio with every year around this time.
