Today's Flowers #132

Orange coloured flowers are in abundance this season. On top are the flowers of Sanchezia, which has become a big shrub in my garden. Its leaves are also very striking.
The orange flowers of the Crucifix orchid stay for a long time. These flowers which have no nectar to offer the pollinators, mimic the Asclepia flowers and attract butterflies!

The volunteer Nasturtium is putting out orange flowers. The leaves, flowers and seeds of the Nasturtium are edible. I use the leaves in salads.


The reluctant Gerbera.




My Strelitzia has become quite unruly in appearance, but it seems to like it. It is comming out with plenty of flowers and buds now.
I thank Santilli, Denise, Pupo and Sandy Carlson for hosting Today's Flowers.
