Angelonia

This is one of the beauties I got in the planters yesterday. Any ideas what it is? #plantid #thanks #closeup #purple

Linaria perhaps?

Not sure about linaria.. pictures on google look a little different mine have a concaved section where the dark purple spots are but I couldn't find any photos of linaria that have this..

I think it could be angelonia serena.. Bunnings sells it and I suspect that is where the people who potted them up got their plants from.

Bingo! Yes, an #angelonia 👍🏼 "The flowers of Angelonia are highly specialized in regarding to the pollination, because they have hairs in the inner corolla, which produces oils collected by the oil bee pollinators, specially of the genus Centris.[2]" http://bie.ala.org.au/species/http://id.biodiversity.org.au/node/apni/2893553

Thanks @brightcolours 😁

Thanks for the ID! I've got this too. 😊

Hi Karen love this plant but have difficulty keeping it growing in my area not warm enough. Katy I looked up igarden and she cant keep it alive either so I feel better now I have plenty to choose from @brightcolours

You certainly can grow lots where you are Bev! I find it propagates easily up here. @errolly
