Today's Flowers #98

The pink Justicia has started blooming again. It puts out its odd shaped flowers intermittetly throughout the year.

Crinum lily blooms have a long stem. They bloom during the monsoons.This is a different lily from the short stemmed Milk -and-Honey Lily which flowers constantly.

This Heliconium is upright. The flowers look like some sort of ancient weapons, but they are constantly being attacked by the squirrels.

The Pyramid Bilbergia is flowering in hidden corners of my garden. The flowers are the favourite food of snails :(

The Garlic Vine Cydista aequinoctialis has started flowering on my north side fence.
The funny thing about these flowers is that they have a pleasant scent as long as you don't touch them. But, if a leaf is rubbed, it sends out a strong smell of garlic! The plant has medicinal value, besides keeping out some of the garden pests!
