Today's Flowers

The rainy season started late last month. The plants respond well to the copious amount of rainfall but the weeds like it even more.


Pink anthurium. It is not uncommon to see these growing under the shade of a mango tree in someone's yard. Some cultivars are also grown for the cut flower trade.


 Hard-cane fuschia dendrobium orchid. Dendrobiums are among the easiest blooming orchids.


 Matte petals


Purple Mexican petunia (ruellia simplex). Grows easily from cuttings and requires little care. A plant for those with a brown thumb.


Red wax begonia. Instant flower power. Great in containers and beds. 

Thanks to the team of Today's Flowers, where we can see what is blooming in different parts of the world.

Also thanks to - I Heart Macro

  6. Beautiful photos again today. When in the first photo you referred to mango, guess what, I get those whenever I can from the store. Love them! Can not grow those here on the shores of Lake Michigan in USA - but I do have the lake to compensate! Jack
