Fascinating Flowering Plant
Fascinating Flowering Plant
Approaching Botanical Garden at the Great House we realize once again how tropical flowers astound and amaze us with their forms and colors, like this lobster claw plant (Heliconia rostrata) native Central to South America; large, brightly hued showy bracts that cluster up a stem and cover tiny inconspicuous flowers To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
