Another shot from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in January. So many of the succulents were in bloom. This happy guy had flower stalks and pink leaf tips.

Back in January I visited the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and saw this beautiful aloe flower. Inside the conservatory, you couldn’t even tell that it was freezing outside!

In November, my Haemanthus albiflos sent up a very sturdy flower stalk with a simple white flower at the end. I think this is the most elegant plant in my collection. I like its economy of leaves.

Winter Trees and Shrubs: Northern Catalpa
The names of plants often contain clues that can either help with identification or that tell something about the plant’s history or use. The name, catalpa, is said to be derived from the Muscogee word, katałpa, meaning “winged head,” presumably referring to the tree’s winged seeds.

9/27/16:Clerodendrum thomsoniae; A species of flowering plant that is also classified as a long stemmed woody vine, native to tropical west Africa. It’s numerous flowers are produced in “cymes”, a type of inflorescence which I’d never heard of before!

I just love the overall look of this plant’s leaves and flowers and how they correlate well with its vine structure!
