HELP!!!

Anyone know what this is?

I wanted to say #GladiolusCommunis and exclaim ‘#HelloPossums!!’

But I had a sneaking suspicion it could be something totally different.

And so too does my ID app… in fact it suggests anything from #Lobelia, #Montbretia, #CannaLily - and yes of course… #Gladiolus!

Google image search wanted to tell me it’s a gladdy… but you know what.. I’m not so sure.

Whatever it is, ‘twas snapped on my sisters farm in #Centralvictoria a few weeks back… deep red and it is happy as Larry.

Oh what the heck, I’ll just say it;
#HelloPossums!!!!

🤣🤣🤣

This is a #queenofshibavine.

Also known as a #pinktrumpetvine, because if it’s elongated flowers. It is a flowering plant native to #SouthAfrica, #Malawi, #Mozambique and #Zambia.

It grows as an evergreen, and can reach a height of 5 metres.

The pink flowers have reddish stripes in the centre, with darker veins - I had a sniff and they were fragrant as anything!

#MerryChristmas to you and yours!! 🎄

Whether you’re spending the day with family, friends or going solo, have fun, enjoy… and play nicely!

If today is just another ‘#Saturday’ for you, have an equally awesome day; smile, be happy.

And to my #Jewish friends and extended family… #HappyHanukkah

In the meantime, enjoy these two new specimens that ONLY appear around #Christmas time.

And it’s guarenteed you’ve never come across them EVER before!

Enjoy feasting your eyes on the:

#beadeddiscoballtinsel tree! 🪩

And the much beloved #redribbon tree 🎀
