Life in Colour October: Orange
I made comment on Jude’s post where she asked “Do you have any Orange Flowers?” I replied that I think I have posted all of my Orange Flowers. Then I wondered if I had an Orange Trumpet in a post.
So here is the Orange Trumpet Flower as promised Jude. This one grows over my potting shed.

oh yes I also forgot the Lions Tails. These ones come with a bonus orange bee

Beautiful!

You have the most beautiful flowers over there Brian. Orange isn’t my favorite color I’ll admit but these are just wonderful!

You should provide nature walks to the public on your property, Brian. There is so much to see!

Oh, glad you found the Orange Trumpet – what a beauty! And the way it drapes itself over your potting shed too. The Lion’s tails (Leonotis leonurus) I do know, they are from S Africa, and also known as wild dagga! The leaves and flowers can be brewed as a tea for medicinal uses and the plant is now a popular smoking alternative to tobacco or cannabis, giving a mild euphoric and uplifting effect. Well, I never knew that! 🤪

You’re welcome Jude. I never knew that either. Don’t think I’ll be trying it out though 😂

It is a lovely shade of orange and changes as the flowers age and in the sunshine or cloudy days 🙂
