RED

Brownea, Stachytarpheta and Harpullia

These photos don't do justice to the splashes of red in the garden.

At the Fruits and Flowers and the Understorey gardens, the red comes in the form of:

• fruits of the Harpullia ramiflora,
• flowers of Brownea grandiceps,
• flowers of Stachytarpheta mutabilis and
• flowers of Acalypha reptans
