An Electric Flower: the Clivia

Talk about making a statement:
our clivia is in full bloom right now.







At night:




The intensity of the florets' color reminds me of Charlotte's Locks, one of Farrow and Ball's new paint colors.

  6. Hello all!

    Regarding the wall behind the clivia plant:
    you are actually seeing part of two sections of an antique 3-part screen. I showed photos of it here at my other blog last year: http://allthingspaintandplasters.blogspot.com/2010/05/whats-in-screen.html

    It is one of my favorite possessions and inspires me every day! Thanks for asking!

    -Annie
