El nombre indica que florece mucho y a menudo, múltiples = muchos y flora = flor.
Fue descripta en 1823.
Es una planta de hasta 2.5 m de altura, tiene un crecimiento compacto, vertical, arbustivo de menos de 80 cm de altura. En casa apenas llega a los cuarenta centímetros.
Tiene grandes racimos de flores blancas y amarillas de textura cerosa, nacarada….Y florece desde principios de primavera hasta finales de verano. Tiene hojas grandes, de color verde oscuro, coriáceas y cerosas. Hay algunos clones diferentes , con hojas verdes con solo unas pocas manchas, otros con hojas muy moteadas.Las flores también difieren en forma y color, las mia tiene manchas de veneno para hormigas...como estaba por llover , durante la noche, se llenaron la despensa, de epiphyllums y flores de hoya...las muy cretinas!!
Aquí se puede ver desde todos los ángulos, son flores estrelladas , muy peculiares…Con pétalos en forma de flecha, dobladas hacia atrás y parecen similares a una "estrella fugaz", tiene un centro amarronado formando ramos de hasta cuarenta flores, en teoría, porque nunca tuve la suerte de que los ramilletes sean tan grandes, solo lo he visto en fotografías.
Mi planta es muy pequeña y apenas me da ramilletes de 15 o 20 flores , pero no me quejo al contrario sé que le cuesta adaptarse a este clima. La he perdido dos inviernos, porque es muy sensible al frío ya que su origen es Tailandia, China, Malasia, Java, Indonesia y Filipinas.
Espero conservarla esta vez!!!

For Macro Mondays - Hole
I was struggling to come up with a hole for this week, out of time, then this morning I had to burn a CD so decided to use that.
Happy Macro Monday!
We have a lot of earth works going on at our property, and I am finding so many fascinating elements to document. This is an attachment for the excavator and a big pile of clay material we’re holding onto so that we can hopefully have enough to line a small dam!!
Buddleia pugster amethyst is a compact variety of butterfly bush known for its vibrant, amethyst-purple flower spikes. This dwarf shrub, also known as Buddleia davidii 'Pugster Amethyst', blooms continuously from early summer to frost, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies with its fragrant flowers.
Amazing how the big the wings of the brown Pelican can fold down into a very compact flying torpedo. The brown pelican can dive head first into water to catch a meal. And seagulls often try to steal their catch out. I hope to catch the seagull getting away with the theft on camera soon.
Macro Monday's and the theme of "Pins".
A straightforward photo this week. I decided to focus on the pins of a Compact Flash card reader, It was slightly easier than using my Nikon D200 as a subject where the pins are quite recessed inside the camera. The card reader also has a blue light that illuminates when it is plugged in.
Compact flash cards are the reason I mainly use a lead to connect the camera too my laptop. I had heard stories when I first got my Nikon D70 of the possibility of pins getting bent in the CF card port so to this day I am still in the habit of using a lead.
On a winter walk, out of the corner of my eye, I just caught a glimpse of this little critter resting on some holly berries. I loved the green, almost geometric body contrasting against the bright red globular berries.
The beauty of nature is all around us, let's all strive to preserve it!

Unedited version of the moon last night, is it the furthest reached for a compact, probably but of course it's all pointless.
Has a typical weaver color scheme but an unusual shape: a chunky body, heavy bill, and short tail. Breeding males and females have a black mask, and the crown is yellow in males and black in females. Non-breeding birds are more distinctive than typical non-breeding weavers: buff below, with a dark crown and eye-stripe. Found in wet and grassy microhabitats within savanna, forest, scrub, and cultivation. Usually in small flocks. Along with typical weaver “chit” notes and sizzling, “radio static” song, also often gives a “cheep” call. Superficially similar to other weavers, but separated by distinctive shape.
