My Kalanchoe is finally blooming. I was so curious to see what flowers will emerge, and Donna they are orange flowers too! Here are some pictures I took this morning.
The light is playing tricks on me here, the flowers look pink but they are in fact orange...
I had to support the plant with a bamboo stick because it grew too long and it sort of coiled in on itself. I was afraid the main stem was going to give way. but as it turns out, the main stem is just as thick as the rest so it just bent, and let gravity take over. Now it look much prettier.
It took a lot of juggling to take these last three pictures, so I didn't care much about the light, as long as the plant didn't move I was snapping away.
For some reason when flowers bloom I always feel excited, its like receiving presents on your birthday or Christmas, you just have to smile :)
Here they are in full bloom now:

| Kalanchoe Flowers In Full Bloom |
The Kalanchoes I have known were all rather short, squatty plants. But just this week I was in a nursery and admired an unusual plant that was growing like yours. It was a kalanchoe! Yours has an exotic look and beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing, I like the warm lighting in the photograph. But, i never saw a Kalanchoe grow like this. It is really vine-like.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful color--warm without being harsh. The only kalanchoes I know are grocery-store specimens that always look a little sad, not like this birthday present-type celebration! Garden photography is definitely an acrobatic sport...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I've never seen one like it. I'll be on the lookout now though, would love one in the garden. Anyhow here are few ideas of the name of yours...
ReplyDeleteKalanchoe manganii - BLAZING BELLS
Chandelier Plant, Bryophyllum tubiflorum
