I love growing unusual and interesting things and am teaching my son to love it too. I have a tiny mostly potted garden in Newcastle NSW.

Gloriosa modesta (syn Littonia modesta)

#collectors-plant-fair #tonkinsbulbs https://www.tonkinsbulbs.com.au/ I wasn't going to get this because it's a climber and it's hard to manage climbers in my garden (still hoping to move soon!) but I went back and got it because it's too beautiful not to have in my life!

I just looked it up. Looks nice. I have my gloriosa superba next to a potted palm, so it can climb on that.
