The Flowers of Brunswick East (8)

A very strange plant, this one. I have to call upon my lovely gardening friends to help me out!

Actually, I don’t know what most of the flowers I post are… Would you believe I did a Botany class at University? LOL.

    Looks a lot like a crocosmia or montbretia crossed with kangaroo paw! Help! We need the expertise of PP (Pommepal / Pauline) for this one. Did you pass that botany course btw? 😀 😀

      Hahaha I did pass it just barely! But it was not a great class. Hahaha that’s funny. I don’t think we’ve identified it yet.

        Aw, PP, I figured if anyone knew what this was you would. I think it might be a South African plant so I shall keep on researching.

            Pauline – some help for adding comments to your site. if you click on My Sites (top left of your blog) and scroll right down to the bottom, clock on WP Admin which takes you to the older admin settings. Once there scroll down to Settings, then Discussion. This is where you can allow people to comment and decide on other discussion settings. Scroll to the bottom to save the settings. If you do this people will be able to comment on all your posts. If you don’t want them to you can ‘turn off’ comments on an individual post. If you need any further help, let me know!!

        Could be a Chasmanthe which is a SA native bulb and one, known as the South African flag, looks to be a similar colourway to this flower.

            It just looked South African (as are crocosmia) and then I figured maybe a native flower and a bulb and one thing led to another. There are better images if you google the name.

    This is an interesting one! It reminds me of the type of plant that you might find in Newt Scamander’s magical world in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
