Beautiful flower! I also noticed the plant on the left side of King's crown. Is that bird's nest fern? Looks very lush and nice.

I am so excited to see this picture of the flower! I have this plant and a bud if forming. I posted a picture of it on my blog a week ago, A Giraffe in the Garden. Thank you for sharing this beauty. I can't wait for mine to bloom!

ReplyDeleteHi, everyone! Thank you very much for the nice comments which is a great start to my day.
ReplyDeleteEuroangel, I'll follow you from my city daily photo blog to match your travel blogs.
Ami, yes, that's a bird's nest fern. I have 2 baby bird's nest ferns in my garden, brought in by the birds.
Rosie, I can imagine how beautiful the King's crowns will look in your garden.
This is a beautiful flower! i always enjoy seeing your tropical plants. Many of them are unfamiliar to me. Thanks !
ReplyDeleteWow, Autumn what a gorgeous bloom. Looks like a beautiful dahlia gone array.
ReplyDeleteI think the common name Flamingo Flower suits this bloom very well!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite flowers! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen this yet also! The leaves resemble that of the Pachystachys lutea or candle flower. Are they flowering much, or less compared to leaves?
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful--thank you for sharing your world :)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful plant! Too bad it wouldn't grow here in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very lovely blog.:)t
I like this flower very much. It's nice to just look at the bloom and imagine it to be a King's crown.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful flower. And never seen before. I also liked the blog my dry tropics garden. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWonderful flower! Beautiful series!

ReplyDeleteNice flower - I like the spherical shape. It is also interesting to see it set against the nearby leaves, such a contrast.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the visits nice comments which I appreciate very much.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, the real flowers are very pretty. At the time when I took the photos, there were more foliage than flowers. It can be grown grouped together as a ground cover. The plant is quite short.
a really pretty bloom. I love these flowers with the long thin, fringy petals. Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous flower. I will have to look for some. Thanks.
ReplyDeletethanks for the visit and following my blogs..happy Mothers Day too! take care!
