Acanthus mollis - oyster plant ~

An evergreen, soft wooded perennial which grows in an upright clump. The dark green, glossy leaves are lobed and toothed. Purple and white flowers appear on tall, erect spikes from November to January. They resemble an open oyster..

Beautiful diptych. I like the close-up. They are wild plants here - didn't know the name.

@sangwann How wonderful Dione to see these beauties growing wild. I delight in my pot plant that produces just one spike a year...😊

Wow, this takes me back to the garden of my early childhood.
