The joys of overwintering #chillies! This paprika pepper (Alma pepper) has been in a pot since last summer and continues to grow in my attic. The fruits are ripe and I even have new flowers soon! 🌱

“Whilst the Snowdrop enters with so quiet a footstep that it might almost pass unobserved amidst the remnants of the melting snow, the Crocus bursts upon us in a blaze of colour like the sun-rise of the flowers…” - Forbes Watson (1840-1869). #FlowerFridayFamily

Very mild weather with 15°c this afternoon allowed me to take my big banana tree out so that it could enjoy a pseudo spring air! (Dwarf cavendish banana ) 😀🌱

The pseudanthium (an inflorescence that functions like a flower) is very obvious in Houttuynia cordata, the only species in the genus. This plant has leaves that smell of fish (to my nose). They are used as both medicinal & culinary herbs in SE Asia. #Saururaceae #botany 🌾🧪🌱

Why my focus on Aloes? A main reason is their nectar producing flowers for hummingbirds and the fact that they do so well in Brazil. This plant was flowering at Naples Botanical Garden. No label present.

Legend says the clever fox sought help from mischievous fairies to move more silently. They crafted a special flower, its soft blooms perfect for slipping onto his paws, muffling his steps. These enchanted flowers became known as foxgloves! #FairytaleTuesday

Pollination in Aloe (& kin) is typically by sunbirds perching on the inflorescences foraging for nectar. #Asphodelaceae 1. Malachite Sunbird (Nectarinia famosa), Bernard Dupont CCBYSA2 2. Scarlet-chested Sunbird (Chalcomitra senegalensis), Joris Komen CCBYSA2 #botany 🌾🧪🌱 #birdsky

In the language of flowers, cosmos flowers symbolise joy in life, love, and harmony. The tiny golden florets at their heart form a radiant sunburst of stars that glow with warmth and light, drawing in bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to feed on them. #FolkloreSunday

Violas are the final birth flower for the month of February. This genus includes the dainty violets that grow wild in our hedgerows, and the pretty little viola and pansy “faces” that brighten up our garden planters in late-winter. They symbolise friendship, love and remembrance.
