Bat Flower Glasshouse Wisley

Wow! That is beautiful but strange....

I love this such a shame it needs a glasshouse as would fill my garden with these . Never seen such a thing but think Im in love wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

So exotic. The monotone color enhances the shape and features. Neat one, Arlene. This glasshouse is close, where you can visit often, or is this holiday?

Hi Greenthumb
Unfortunately not close! Wisley is situated about 200 miles away or I would definitely go more often.We were in the area for a mini break last weekend.
The Glasshouse has been built in the last few years and is well worth a visit.

Hi Bonkersbon
Glad you like the pic!
These are from China and can grow to 36 inches tall.They need high humidity and well drained soil as well as heat.Apparently much like orchids.Can be bought from Thompson and Morgan to grow,as well as other nurseries in flower!

The only one of those I got Arlene is well drained soil. Not much chance of high humidity or heat here so ll just enjoy your pic and dream on.

oh wow, i love it

Hi Eileen
you either love it or hate it-definitely different!

Myself&Son Love This Plants Flower Arlene :D

I can't grow orchids so this isn't an option but it has a charm of it's own!

absolutely beautiful

Glorious colour - never seen anything like this!

I just recently photographed this one too Arlene. They're are really unique and I was glad to see them in person. Someone else has this flower in their plot... cant' remember who it is though.

WoW!!!

Some where (over the rainbow) lol yes I am mad, yes well I have the seed s to this plant a white one, some where, they are very difficult to grow, they need loam and constant moister in the air like a bathroom with steam. Lovely picture
