Flowers of the Eastern Cape #8 - Ribbon Bush
In my pursuit of aircraft I almost forgot about this weeks Eastern Cape flowers. Growing in the bush along Albany Road, I came across this (Blue) Ribbon Bush (Hypoestes aristata) during the week.

If Blogger had a "Like" button like Facebook, I would have click it for this. Beautiful flower to have.
I have lots of them in my garden - they pop up like weeds.. but they're colourful and I am leaving them (most of them!) where they seed themselves. Great for filling in gaps and they haven't been hit by this black frost that we have recently experienced (on the Highveld)
Max-e, excellent photograph. Glad you found it. Anna ::)
Stunning flower! Gorgeous color!
