Glorisosa rothschildiana, Zimbabwe's Flower





























Thinking of our family still farming flowers in Zimbabwe I planted this Gloriosa rothschildiana, or Zimbabwe national flower, in May, expecting to put it by the front door once the tubers flowered. It made me smile so much scrambling through the tomatoes though that I decided to keep it all to myself in the greenhouse. A stunner I shall propagate to have in both places next year!
