I've been trying to get a decent photo of this bromeliad flower for days now. It's stunning, the contrast between the rich red and the pale purple swirls.
They're not usually my favourite plant as they can be messy and our local spiders like to hide in them and cover them with webs. This one is contained to a pot though and has put on this fabulous show.
Unfortunately most of the buds seem to be dying off now, but a few stunning purple swirls remain.
Do you have a plant you don't particularly like that's surprised you?
Until next time,
