Most of the Best

Here are just a couple of pictures of some interesting plants:

Veltheimia bracteata is something out of the ordinary. It thrives in dry shade and is highly frost tolerant. It's beautiful, pinkish-red, bell-shaped blooms are about to open.

When in flower, this is what they will look like:
