Pelargonium graveolens is an erect, multi-branched shrub, that grows up to 1.5 m and has a spread of 1 m. The leaves are deeply incised, velvety and soft to the touch (due to glandular hairs). The flowers vary from pale pink to almost white and the plant flowers from August to January. The leaves may be strongly rose-scented, although the leaf shape and scent vary. Some plants are very strongly scented and others have little or no scent. Common names include rose geranium, sweet scented geranium, old fashion rose geranium, and rose-scent geranium. “ - Wikipedia 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗶 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂! ⍗ www.plantsnap.com ⍗ #rosegeranium #sweetscentedgeranium #rosescentedgeranium #geranium #geraniums #Pelargoniumgraveolens #Pelargonium #rose #pinkflower #pinkflowers #floweroftheday #plantlovers #flowerfriday #plantsnap

ℕ𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝 𝕋𝕦𝕝𝕚𝕡 𝔻𝕒𝕪 🌷 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘁 𝗧𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗽 ( 𝗧𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘁 ) 📸 @briangeorge8616 ( ig ) ‘ Rainbow ‘ parrot tulip “ Parrot tulips are a tulip cultivar group known for their bright colors and petals. The petals have a "serrated" or "fringed" look. The flowers bloom in late spring and reach a size of almost 5 inches (12.5 centimeters) in length. Although they are perennials by nature٫ they are often grown as annuals. Parrot tulips come in a wide variety of colors, usually being brightly colored, but can come in darker colors. The flowers originated in France and were brought to The Netherlands in the 18th century. As buds, the flowers are green in color, but as they mature, the bright colors parrot tulips are known for start to appear. Parrot tulips are a group of cultivars, not a species. Their proper name is Tulipa Parrot Group. Parrot tulips are the result of natural mutations to single late tulips and triumph tulips. During the 17th and 18th century the most notable mutations were to color patterns with growers attempting to influence the color of the tulips using pigeon droppings, old plaster and even dirty waste water from the kitchen. It wasn't until the late 19th century that the source of these mutations was isolated as the tulip breaking virus. Later in the 20th century, radiation was used to cause mutations in these tulips to search for new colors and patterns. The parrot tulip is characterized by ruffled petals and bright colors. The flowers are somewhat curled, especially at the edge of their petals and are some of the showiest tulips in competition. The plant itself can grow to 22 inches (56 cm) tall with the flower being on average around 5 inches (13 cm) across. The parrot tulip is more puffy and expanded than some other tulips, with other tulips being more inward and curled up. They get their name from their exotic colors and shape, as the petals resemble the feathers on a parrot and parrots tend to have bright colors. Parrot tulips, just like other tulips, grow two or three bluish green leaves that are clustered together at the base of the plant. “ - Wikipedia 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗶 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂! ⍗ www.plantsnap.com ⍗ #nationaltulipday #tulipday #Parrottulip #tulipaparrot #parrottulips #rainbowtulip #rainbowparrottulip #tulip #tulipa #tulips #tulipseason #tuliplove #tuliplovers #tulipgarden #tulips🌷 #tulipsaremyfavorite #floweroftheday #dailyblooms #springflowers #rainbowflowers #plantsnap

𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘄 (𝗗𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗲) 📸 @sundews_etc ( ig ) “ Drosera aliciae, the Alice sundew, is a carnivorous plant in the family Droseraceae. It is native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa,like Drosera capensis, the cape sundew, and is one of the most common sundews in cultivation. The plant forms small, tight rosettes of wedge-shaped leaves, up to 5 cm in diameter. Under conditions of good lighting, the insect-snagging tentacles will become deeply coloured with anthocyanin pigments, which probably aid in its attraction of insect prey. The plant is relatively easy to grow, and produces attractive scapes of pink flowers, which are held about 30 cm away from the carnivorous leaves, so as to prevent pollinators from becoming ensnared. D. aliciae is very similar in form to a number of other closely related species such as D. slackii, and D. dielsiana: the former is rather larger (8 cm diameter); the latter rather smaller (3 cm diameter). “ - Wikipedia “Drosera spp. are entirely reliant on bogs, fens, and other delicate wetland ecosystems; this makes their habitat incredibly sensitive and steadily shrinking. Though efforts are being made to preserve the wetlands in most parts of the U.S., much more work must be done to preserve their habitats. The roots, flowers, and seed capsules are frequently used in tea to treat breathing issues and break up chest congestion. Naphthoquinones are what gives the plant its antispasmodic effects.” - united plant savers Drosera aliciae has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀𝗶𝗮 ( 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗮 ) 📸 @zqqyjml ( ig ) Zaki Jamil “ Banksia attenuata, commonly known as the candlestick banksia, slender banksia or biara to the Noongar people, is a species of plant in the family Proteaceae. Commonly a tree, it reaches 10 m (33 ft) high, but it is often a shrub in drier areas 0.4 to 2 m (1.3 to 6.6 ft) high. It has long, narrow, serrated leaves and bright yellow inflorescences, or flower spikes, held above the foliage, which appear in spring and summer. The flower spikes age to grey and swell with the development of the woody follicles. The candlestick banksia is found across much of the southwest of Western Australia, from north of Kalbarri National Park down to Cape Leeuwin and across to Fitzgerald River National Park. The candlestick banksia is pollinated by and provides food for a wide array of animals in summer months. Several species of honeyeater visit the flower spikes, as does the honey possum, which has an important role as a pollinator. It regenerates from bushfire by regrowing from its woody base, known as a lignotuber, or from epicormic buds within its trunk. It can have a lifespan of 300 years. It has been widely used as a street tree and for amenities planting in urban Western Australia, though its large size generally precludes use in small gardens. A dwarf form is commercially available in nurseries. “ - Wikipedia 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗶 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂! ⍗ www.plantsnap.com ⍗ #candlestickbanksia #banksia #biara #slenderbanksia #Banksiaattenuata #Proteaceae #australianplants #yellowflower #yellowflowers #flowerstagram #uniqueflowers #floweroftheday #plantoftheday #treeoftheday#plantsnap

𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮 (𝗘𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀) 🪻 📸 @curtissteiner @luisdavidluis ( ig ) Echium candicans, the pride of Madeira, is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, native to the island of Madeira. It is a large herbaceous perennial subshrub, growing to 1.5–2.5 m (4 ft 11 in–8 ft 2 in). In the first year after germination the plant produces a broad rosette of leaves. In the second and subsequent years more or less woody flowering stalks are produced clothed in rough leaves. The flower head is large and covered with white or blue flowers having red stamens. It is much visited by bees and butterflies for its nectar. Echium candicans is cultivated in the horticulture trade and widely available throughout the world as an ornamental plant for traditional and drought tolerant water conserving gardens. It is particularly suitable for coastal planting. With a minimum temperature requirement of 5–7 °C (41–45 °F), in frost-prone areas it needs some winter protection. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. “ - Wikipedia 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗶 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂! ⍗ www.plantsnap.com ⍗ #PrideofMaderia #Echiumcandicans #echium #echiums #coastalblooms #coastalflowers #blueflowers #blueflower #purpleflower #purpleflowers #floweroftheday #bloomsoftheday #pollinatorgarden #pollinatorfriendly #plantforthebees #flowerpower #flowerfriday #flora #botany #naturelovers #plantlovers #plantsnap
