Each flower produces a small woody fruit containing hundreds of tiny seeds. These fruits form in clusters along the stem, and usually held on the plant for many years.
These are looking like those sea anomalies again or however it's spelt. Beautiful studies!
Thank you Modroom! I would like to clear up the fact we are not underwater, although that sounds like a good idea!
Great shots and wonderful to have thier names with them - Thanks Anon!
Thanks Lavender! I don't swear by their names though did the best I could :)
Absolutely stunning...love the last white one....
HAHA! Abbey, the white one has a Ladybird in it :)
Well it's about time I got my blogging butt over to this site, Anon -- wow!! What great shots of the bottles and its friends! :) We call Charlotte "Lottie Bird" after ladybirds and birds in general. She was very upset when she found out her middle name was NOT bird and is Bethany.
Good to see you Melissa over here on this blog! You could tell Charlotte there are probably birds named 'Bethany' and if she learnt their language she could ask them :) HAHA
Well, today I was in a better garden center and they had some viminalis'es, citrinus'es AND some rigidus'es - and they all seemed right to me, so Extra points for you my friend!
Awww thanks Lavender, the first two are the most common in nurseries and they are the Mothers of most of the other varieties!
