Delicate Purple Flowers
For the first time since I moved here, one of my tropical plants, which I think might be a Ti plant (Cordyline fruticosa "Sherbert"), is blooming. It has these delicate purple flowers with white stamens with yellow tips. I was so excited to see it bloom and with such lovely flowers.
In the picture above you can see reddish-purple-green leaves on the plant.
In this picture some of the leaves actually look teal in color. One stem of the purple flowers is starting to die. They don't seem to last very long. Two days after I took this shot most of the flowers had dropped.
In this last picture, various colors of the leaves can be seen surrounding the delicate purple flowers.
I hope you enjoy viewing these pictures as much as I did taking them.

Extraordinary plant! I have never seen it. I like the colors!
ReplyDeleteIt bloomed for the first time in 9 years. I couldn't believe how lovely the images turned out. Thanks for the comment and stopping by.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are just as lovely as the flowers and the colours are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI think the leaves are prettier in the image than when you look at the plant, although some of them are very pretty. Thanks for commenting and stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen this before. It's lovely. Hope you'll find time to visit my Hibiscus.
ReplyDeleteIt is new to me as well, since it has never bloomed before. Thanks for commenting.

Debbie,
DeleteThanks for stopping by and following me. I hope you don't have to wait 9 years for your to bloom like I did. I'll let you know what I come up with the hose. I will probably have to sneak it away from him. He keeps everything - "I might need that". Or is that what I say? Maybe both of us. lol
Bev

Your photography is stunning! I love coming to sites like yours because I am capable of growing nothing! Even silk plants shrivel up when they see me coming! That's okay...I'll just come here for a touch of beauty whenever I need it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the lovely comment. I am new to photography, but I am learning. I'm sure the silk flowers are just in awe of you.
DeleteHave a great weekend,
Bev

Hi Liz,

Oh how utterly gorgeous!! Has it warmed up down there now!
ReplyDeleteFriends were staying in Ste Petes and it got cold.
Yes, it is very warm and a little muggy. Today was around 84. We didn't get too cold this year, only a couple of evenings.
DeleteThanks for commenting on my purple flowers. I am curious how you got to my purple flowers since it is an old post. I am wondering if something is wrong.
Thanks for stopping by,

Bev, I am here in Orlando and I have never seen that flower...I think it's pretty! I don't know about you, but I am dreading the onset of the heat!!!!! PS: did you know when you reply to people here, they don't see the reply's unless they come back to look?
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!
Carol
Hi Carol,
DeleteOur second home is north of Orlando and I have not seen it up there either.Yes, the heat up that way is almost unbearable at times. Fortunately, here in southern Florida we don't get those temperatures and we almost always have a nice breeze.
Have a great week,
Bev
Such an unusual plant! I've never seen anything like it. The flower spike is pretty. Thanks for visiting my blog- have a wonderful week, Bev. :)
ReplyDeleteShawn

Very different and unusual plant...it may not be a rose, but I find it very pretty and the colors are lovely! Thank you for dropping by to see me. Have a good evening.
ReplyDeleteFABBY
It is a lovely flower and the plant just can't be killed. I tried. :)
DeleteAfter it bloomed, I was glad it came back.
Have a great week,
Bev
