Found in a plant pot with a fake tree in outside our front door - the next day, they are all gone without any trace of ever being there.
Thanks to those who helped identify this as a banana plant and not a type of ginger as I had thought. Definitely a young plant as I was able to capture this phot at eye level or lower for me!
The banana plant is a pseudostem that grows to 6 to 7.6 metres (20–25 feet) tall, growing from a corm. Leaves are spirally arranged and may grow 2.7 metres (9 ft) long and 60 cm (2 ft) wide. The banana plant is the largest of all herbaceous flowering plants. The large leaves grow whole, but are easily torn by the wind, resulting in the familiar frond look.
The Pitcher-plant is a carnivorous plant, a meat eater. Carnivorous plants usually live in nitrogen poor soils. They have 'learned' to augment the inadequate nitrogen available in the soil by capturing and consuming insects!
The inside of the tubular shaped leaf is lined with downward pointing hairs. These hairs block an insect from climbing up the tube and escaping. The fluid in the bottom of the tube contains digestive juices that will consume the insect prey.
Viola is a genus of flowering plants in the violet family Violaceae, with around 400–500 species distributed around the world. Most species are found in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, however viola species (commonly called violets, pansies or heartsease) are also found in widely divergent areas such as Hawaii, Australasia, and the Andes in South America.
Most Viola species are tiny perennial plants, some are annual plants, and a few are small shrubs. A number of species are grown for their ornamental flowers in borders and rock gardens; the garden pansy in particular is an extensively used spring and autumn/winter bedding and pot plant. Viola and violetta are terms used by gardeners and generally in horticulture for neat, small-flowered hybrid plants intermediate in size between pansies and violets.
TO all my flickr friends Happy Friday.
Ptilotus exaltus var. exaltatus, also commonly known as the pink mulla mulla[1] or tall mulla mulla,[2] is one of the largest mulla mullas. The species is endemic to much of mainland Australia.
This robust perenniel or ephemeral herb typically grows to a height of 1 metre (3.3 ft) tall[2] but in a good season can grow to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) tall and in poor years it may be only reach a few centimetres in height. There is a basal rosette of spathulate-oblanceolate smooth leaves up to 10 cm long, the stem leaves being shorter. The flower spikes are up to 10 cm long and 4 cm across with loosely hairy flowers. The species is widespread from the North-West coast of Australia east into the Northern Territory, New South Wales, Queensland and south-east to the eastern agricultural districts, Norseman and into South Australia.[3] One author has suggested that Ptilotus exaltatus be synonymised with Ptilotus nobilis.[4]
Many thanks to a knowledgeable Flickr colleague that assisted me in the naming of this plant.

Beside the hydroponic garden shown on one picture below we keep a few ‘pet plants’ - just to spruce up the view of snowy reality outside.
Today I went to la sierra de alfaguara with my lovely friend Hitomi. And I did many photos of my little Isuls.
I just love this diptych ^^
When I bought it over a year ago, the label was Monadenium stypheliodes which is probably a misspelling of Monadenium stapelioides f. variegata . Online it is named Euphorbia succulenta f. variegata. In my collection. April 2020.
Sansevieria trifasciata虎尾蘭Snake Plant
Sansevieria trifasciata es una especie del género Sansevieria originaria del oeste de África tropical hasta Nigeria y al este de República Democrática del Congo. En el 2017 las especies del género Sansevieria fueron incluidas en el género Dracaena con base en estudios moleculares de su filogenia.
虎尾蘭（學名：Dracaena trifasciata，英語：Snake Plant），又名虎皮蘭、錦蘭、黃尾蘭或岳母舌，屬天門冬目天門冬科的植物，另外有學者將之歸類為天門冬目玲花蕉亞科。是常見的觀葉植物。其種加詞「trifasciata」意為「三帶的」。
Dracaena trifasciata is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to tropical West Africa from Nigeria east to the Congo. It is most commonly known as the snake plant, Saint George's sword, mother-in-law's tongue, and viper's bowstring hemp, among other names. Until 2017, it was known under the synonym Sansevieria trifasciata. This plant is often kept as a houseplant due to its non-demanding maintenance; they can survive with very little water and sun.
金邊虎尾蘭（學名：Sansevieria trifasciata）係龍舌蘭科虎尾蘭屬嘅長年生常綠草本植物，原產地喺南美洲西邊嘅阿塔卡瑪沙漠地區。
These lush ground cover succulents often grow in the dunes by the California seashore. The green leave are thick and soak up the coastal fog. There bright pink blooms come and go more then once a year. Ice plant gets its name from the the way its leave can sometimes sparkle when the sun light bounce of them.
From the roots, through the leaves, to the flower. Spiraling from green to red, through yellow and orange

This fossil plant stem is preserved as a black, flattened, carbon-rich film, a fossil preservation style referred to as "carbonization". Most examples of carbonization are fossil leaves, but animals can be carbonized as well - for example, graptolites.
Stratigraphy & age: unrecorded, but probably Pennsylvanian
Locality: unrecorded, but probably eastern America

Yellow aloe blossom
I'm not the primary flower photographer around here — that would be Patty Emerson Mitchell, with whom I visited the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens earlier this month. For me the flower photography is often a sort of experimental process and a chance to "play" at a sort of photography that I don't do all that much. It was a sunny day (tough for flower photography!) but there was plenty of shade (good for flower photograph!) though there was a bit of wind (not so good!), which made me look for protected spots (good!) like this one, where I found these spectacular aloe blooms.
(I'm taking a brief break this weekend from posting my recent Sierra Nevada photographs — those will resume on Monday.)
