Can someone please identify the plant where this flower is. The plant looks very much like a green bamboo, the flowers bloom at the end. It is the deepest purple colour I have sen on a flower. I wanted to post it as a picture of the day but I don't remember its name
Have you got a photo of the foliage?? Maybe Blue Ginger native to Australia?? Not sure of botanical name Ed
Thanks Ed (good to see you here also) I did a google image search with "Blue Ginger" and immediately the flower shows. Dichorisandra thyrsiflora Here in Cuernavaca (Mexico) where I live it is a common plant, I wonder how could also be in Australia. So my question was fully answer
Looks like it's an exotic for both of you. Native to Brazil. http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?13918 http://www.abc.net.au/cgi-bin/common/printfriendly.pl?/gardening/stories/s124501.htm It surely is a beautiful blue.
