It's such a pity that these painted spiral ginger blossoms from the insulin plant don't last for more than a day

They've got a semi-hard shell but the pattern petal itself is delicate velvety-soft

well THIS was a pleasant surprise

and I've got THREE more potential buds on the way

this blossom will get even bigger tomorrow if not later today

amazing what moving these pots six feet down the slope can do
