Blooming Friday – Colours

February 24, 2012 | easygardener

Welcome to Blooming Friday. I like all flower colours and while I have my favourites – blue, purple and magenta – there are none I really dislike.

Some flowers go a step further and impress us with more than one colour. I must confess I have a soft spot for these plants. They made a special effort when deciding what outfit to wear :-)

White, red and yellow.

Lovely colour combinations on each bloom. I’v never come across the last plant, Bilbergia nutans before. Very unusual.

I particularly love the markings on the geranium renardii, so delicate and beautiful. it’ll be good to see some colour in the garden again after the drabness of winter.

I love the Bilbergia, such marvelous colors! Beautiful examples of multi-colored flowers.

Wow that Bilbergia is impressive – sort of thing I would expect to see at Kew

looked at like that, it’s really high art – each one. Lovely, lovely post. I’m off to check out Katarina now.

I have a soft spot for those as well! I also tried to grow Cistus from seed – it propagated but I doubt it has survived this winter. But I’m still hooping!
Take care!
