    Nandina domestica from Barberry family what I could never understand and see similarity.Plant with long 2 and 3 pinnately compound leaves is covered with long conical clusters of small exotic flowers. Do flowers look like flowers of Barberry or Mahonia? (near Alpine garden)

    Beautiful Watsonia fourcadei from South Africa looks like Gladiolus. (Alpine garden)

    Senecio cannabifolius looks so different from our everyday Senecios. It is very tall, has fancy leaves and bright autumn reminding color flowers. (Asian garden)
