PHLOGACANTHUS TURGIDUS & CRINUM

Phlogacanthus turgidus
Known as Lavender Bells, the Phlogacanthus turgidus (Family: Acanthaceae) is a rare but beautiful tropical shrub from Africa. I am not sure how big this plant would grow but we shall see.

The green-leaved and purple flower Crinum lily was also blooming recently.
