Circus Comes to Town
The curly leaves and hanging pods of this plant caught my eye the other day at the Botanical Garden. A week later I checked back to discover the pods turn into whimsical flowers that remind me of little hot air balloons painted like Ringling Brother's Circus.
Turns out they are Gloriosa Lilies, the national flower of Zimbabwe. Not only do they grow in Africa, but they also quite happily in the front yard!
