Flowers 2020

Approximately Shasta Daisy, but the foliage is different. Maybe the species.

The Bush (fav band is bush) was about 8' wide and those are like 4 or 5 inch diameter flowers or I might not have taken a pic of them. Looked like giant daisy. Almost dahlia like

First flowers from my key lime's fall flower show.



It's inside for the winter now. Not enough wind and/or bugs inside to effectively pollinate so I don't usually get much fruit from this flowering

My lemon and orange are self-pollinating. At least that's what the tags said. I have had some fruit in the winter.

This tree is self pollinating too...that just means you don't need another tree around to provide the pollen. But when it flowers indoors, there's not enough wind or flower disturbance to spread the pollen from the stamen to the pistil reliably.

When it flowers in the fall I don't worry about it since I'd rather the tree use its energy maintaining itself in the lower light conditions over winter anyway. If it flowers in the spring before I can get it outside, I will point a fan at it or mash flowers together or grab a Q-tip or do something to help facilitate pollination. It flowers more profusely in the spring and will shortly have full outdoor sun to grow fruit with

I guess it wanted to be a Halloween instead of a Christmas cactus? Very pretty.

Cant compete with that stunning cactus flower shot @ABCarve , but a huge bundle of flowers on a dwarf barb, and cherry tomato flowers in the greenhouse

Choisya ternata.
It flowers in the spring, then again in autumn. Like in English, it's called "oranger du Mexique", Mexican orange. This one is planted at the bottom of my steps, so whenever I go out to check my mailbox I can smell its delicate frangrance.



With a bit of sun, it feels like Spring...

First Azalea flower before it opens.

 

[Carol 83]

The pink ones get a little paler inside.

 

[ABCarve]

Native witch hazel from my woods.

 

[Clicio]

White rose from my garden.

 

[Clorgan]

Shared these in my thread but thought I'd post here too, fuchsia flowers still going strong!

I find the snowcaps just beautiful

 

[Harunobu]

Some azalea cuttings grow leaves, others grow a flower:


Both have roots, though. These may be the only 'Barbara Tozzi' azalea plants in Europe. I think this flower will get even more double when on a mature plant that flowers in-season.

Choisya with some flowers today.
I like spending time next , the smell is very pleasant and i listen to the bees at work.

Paphiopedilum orchid. You may be thinking of native lady slippers. Probably cypripedium
