Yesterday I noticed two blooming plants with characteristics that worked for this week’s challenge. First, a Phalaenopsis (unknown origin) protruding between the Peace lilies along my back fence.
Second, an Aechmea fasciata I shared when it began spiking. Two weeks later, the pyramidal head has lengthened and small violet-to-red flowers sprout between pink bracts.

Until next time….

Oh, I do like the idea of a surprise Phalaenopsis! 🙂
🙂 Totally did a double take at that one, myself!
These are all dream plants 🙂
Thank you, Gilly! 🙂
Wow to have an orchid just pop up in the garden is magic… I do love the urn plants flower… never seen it before, beautiful…
the Aechmea varieties put out some crazy looking flowers! There’s a few others I’d like to add: Aechmea blue tango and another called A. fantasia. If you haven’t run across either, do a google search…you’re in for a treat!
I am not much one for gardens but your flowers are always inviting… 😉
🙂 Thank you my British friend!
Wow, those are some really pretty flowers 🙂
tropicals are quite showy, but I do miss the more shrubby looking plants that grew up north. 🙂
Beautiful between photos. Your flowers are amazing. 🙂
The orchids were so late in opening this year and didn’t put on as many flowers as in the past. I was surprised to see that last phal peaking out at me!
Such beautiful flowers. Mother Nature is wonderful. 🙂
The heat has soared in the past 2 weeks so the tropicals are in their glory….and the 86degree water at the beach ain’t bad either! 😉
The images are all beautiful — but I’ve never seen one in the second set, so that’s the one my eye keeps going back to. The small flowers between the pink are fascinating!
The aechmeas have some really unique looking flowers. The only drawback to them is they sometimes bloom irregularly. But when it happens it’s quite a show!
A very spiky flower with a nice soft color!
I love the bromeliads. There are sp many different varieties, and many of them look exactly alike until the flower spike emerges to surprise you!
Exciting in betweens! I used to help my mom propagate the second plant. I believe it belongs to a bromeliad family. After flowering , it makes lot of new buds.
You are so right! I’m looking forward to this one multiplying because it looks really nice when “clumped.” 🙂
