flower power - autumn nectar delights

Native blue-banded bee on a Cordyline flower. Many Cordylines come from Hawaii but there are also species native to South America, New Zealand, parts of Asia, New Guinea, the islands of the Pacific, Mauritius and eight species native to Australia. Cordylines come in many colours or combination of colours including many shades of greens, reds, pinks, purples, yellows, oranges, cream and white. The Australian species are mostly green but occasionally variegated forms are found, these are highly prized by collectors. Cordylines have a large range of leaf shapes and sizes with some varieties, with foliage up to a meter long with proportionate width. Some have compact leaves of only a few centimeters in length while others have narrow strap like foliage. (Source: International Cordyline Society)
