Eliza Waters 
I’ve not seen these before – how interesting they are.
A tropical from Vietnam, I used to have one as a houseplant, but it never did this!
Are they flowers? Can you share few more pics. I mean it’s buds, leaves, how it looks when it dries off. Never seen before.
Yes, they are flowers. I didn’t take any other photos, but I’m sure you could find more online.
I know the plant but never saw the flowers 🙂
I had one as a houseplant for years, but it never bloomed like this!
Reblogged this on Anita Dawes and Jaye Marie.
Alien life forces in the garden…
Exactly! 🙂 Thanks for reblogging! x
Well, it’s pretty clear it’s not mineral. At least, I don’t think it is. Off to explore Aspidistra.
🙂 I had one once as a houseplant, super tough, but it never bloomed.
Your garden is a paradise Eliza 🍄💐🌺🌸🍄
Thank you, Karen. Wish it was mine, but was taken at a local conservatory. So striking!
Very interesting because you provided an opportunity to look up a plant I’m not familiar with. I always enjoy that. 🙂
Glad to oblige, Judy. It was quite unusual!
Very unusual looking. I looked it up — so many interesting plants to be found on this planet!
I agree, nature is always surprising us!
Fascinating flowers…thoughts of passion flowers and sea anemones…must have been interesting and fun to see them all in that perfect environment.
I’ve never seen them bloom before, quite extraordinary!
Mother Nature is certainly creative….no digital media needed here!
Indeed! 🙂
Woah! Looks like an alien life form. How cool!
Thanks, Laurie, it is a strange one for sure!
Quite a weird plant. I had never seen it before and it quite intriguing. (Suzanne)
It is the first time I saw one bloom and I almost missed it!
Purple stars or true spider plants! How cool are these?
It must be rather primitive in terms of evolution with flowers emerging from roots. Pretty interesting!
It does have a rather primitive look about it, now that you mention it. It is quite interesting. 🙂
Alien?
One crazy flower! 🙂
Hi Eliza. Neither! The aliens have landed!
MJ
Ha, right? Something out of a sci-fi movie!
Not a huge fan, Eliza. This thing looks too much like an immense spider … or an alien life form.
Ha, I knew you wouldn’t be, very creepy-crawly looking! 😉
You know me too well, my friend!
What the….I have never seen one of these, my goodness looks like a spider or something creepy-crawly!! And it is a flower, WOW!!
IKR? What a crazy flower to see laying on the ground coming from the roots!
WOW! These are the best photos I’ve ever seen of these crazy cool blooms, well done!
Thank you, Loree, actually I thought of you when I saw them. I remembered you had aspidistra. Hope you are well!
One has to look for the aspidistra blooms, but they’re sure interesting when they happen. Great shot, Eliza!
Thank you, Tina. Yes, I nearly missed them!
I’m glad you identified the plant by name as I’d have never guessed it. I did wonder if it was some kind of weird vegetable! I’ve seen Aspidistra used as outdoor plants in the PNW and have considered trying it myself. The flowers of this one may have tipped the scales 😉
I thought of Loree, I think she has some in her yard. I had no idea that they bloomed like this!
That is a cool and curious flower. Not one I have heard of or seen so nice that you shared it, Eliza.
Thanks, Steve. Nicknamed ‘Cast Iron Plant,’ it is one tough plant as you can imagine with a name like that.
Plant octopusses. 😀
Pretty crazy, eh?
Ooh, looks a bit alien! Fascinating flowers!
Very much so, thanks, Cathy! 🙂
What a beautiful and unusual plant. 😊
It surely is, thanks, Pepper! 🙂
They are amazing but at the same time weirdly creepy
Precisely, they are quite unusual!
What an interesting looking plant. I’ve not seen one before either.
It was definitely a strange one!
Animal would be way too disturbing. I’m happy for you to continue on the outer edges of flora and aliens💐
Thank you, Val. A rare treat to see these unusual flowers!
I don’t think I ever seen these ones before. How interesting, I love that colour. Thank you for sharing your garden.
Thank you, Maria. Not mine, but in a public garden. Quite a rare treat to see!
Wow, that’s very unusual.
Aren’t they amazing? I was astounded by their uniqueness. 🙂
I have never seen anything like this! Amazing and beautiful.
Thank you, I was quite amazed myself!
