Happy Friday everyone. Itβs a wet one here in Sydney and apparently we are expecting a months rain in the next five days. Something to look forward too. Anyway, I spotted these amazing flowers on my walk a couple of days ago and was really mesmerised. The flowers come from the Matchstick Plant and itβs clear to see why, as the flowers look like they are made up of numerous little matchsticks, with a different colour for the head of the stick, just like a matchstick. How cool is that? Have a look for yourself below ππΌ


Have a great day everyone and I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

These are beautiful. I love flowers that are any shade of purple/violet.

I believe the answer I found suggests that it does have a scent. https://www.araflora.com/p135/bromeliad_aechmea_gamosepala Hope it helps π
