Fascicularia bicolour

This is not an Italian radical authoritarian nationalist in disguise! It is a plant that is a native of Chile and very rare in NZ. It is grown in a private garden of friends who are ardent Gardeners! That is spelt with a capital btw! It's been there for about 10 years and this is the first time it has flowered!
wow....you are great in this shot.....
