Oriental Poppy
This perennial poppy has a delicate and striking color.
After flowering in the spring, their foliage dies back entirely,
only to grow new leaves once again with the autumn rains.
The Oriental Poppy is the flower of The Wizard of Oz.
Mussaenda erythrophylla (Ashanti Blood, Red Flag Bush,
Tropical Dogwood)
These plants are native to the Old World tropics, from West Africa
through the Indian sub-continent, Southeast Asia and into southern China.
The beautiful red and yellow petals are a real showstopper.
A favorite of not only of gardeners, but also butterflies,
bees and hummingbirds.
