The rigid flower stalks can be up to five metres long, projecting high above the foliage. In November (in New Zealand) they produce clumps of curving tube-like flowers which turn bright red when mature. These produce unusually large quantities of nectar to attract all nectar feeding birds such as the tui and insects. The seedpods that develop after pollination, each contain hundreds of seeds which are later widely dispersed by the wind. This is a reflection on a very still pond.
Three good things:
1. Warm house. In fact so warm - 30degC - that we had to open the front door and a back window!
2.Good saying: You take lead a person to knowledge but you can't make him think!
3. Found some pieces of canvas to put over things in the glass house as the roof is dripping badly - we have had gallons of rain!
I like your arrangement here maggiemae...that green foliage on the pale green background is very soothing somehow!! The flax flowers must look quite striking, I have never seen them.
