Hi, one of my bilbergias[not sure of correct name] is really showing off this year, and early too.This one reminds me of a Christmas tree with dangly things on it.It has 10 branches with flowers. Bilbergia showing off. ( photo / image / picture from chocolate's Garden ) Close up ( photo / image / picture from chocolate's Garden )
WOW! I have just come from a post from Droopy in which she has placed unusual features in an 'Impossible Corner'. This plant belongs there too!
You and Cheryl have that plant Bilbergia nutans 'Queen's Tears' The colors are stunning, so many different ones on the same flower.
I like that plant a lot, but unfortunately they're house plants here, and I'm no good with house plants. I'm so glad I get to admire yours, though. It's stunning.
Toni good morning, I dont think it is Queen's tears, there is no blue in the flower.I do have that one but it is definitely different flower, I will try to find picture of Queen's tears. I have edited to include these photos of what I think and understand is Queen's tears.If I had to name the first one in my first post I would say it was bilbergia sanderiana...what do you think?

Oh I love your plants!! They're so exotic and could only be grown indoors here - more's the pity. How I'd love to have them growing in my garden.
