    What we don't see on streets and in parks.

    Look for Brunsvigia radulosa and Cyrtanthus epiphyticus, both from Amaryllidaceae family and both in Alpine Garden

    Amazingly colored flower near entrance, no name; bright yellow flowers of liana Dactylicapnos scandens and quite unusual Clematis stans

    The purple one is probably a Roscoea.
