They seem to like chive flowers.

Colchicum cilicum.
They don't seem to bother about the weather, they flower almost exactly on the same day each year, the first week in September:
Sweet peas.
They self-sow everywhere in the garden - I don't mind!
A cactus, species unknown.
It was 1 inch tall when I bought it 5 or 6 years ago, it flowered once (one flower). I put it outside when there is no risk of frost. Now it's about 10 inches tall and this years I repotted it. When I saw it had many flower buds, I fertilized it with flower fertilizer:

Japanese flowering quince “Texas Scarlet”, which decided to bloom nearly a week after the equinox. In the immortal words of Leo Kottke, “Why ask why?”

Rosa chinensis 'viridiflora'. It doesn't get any petals just a bunch of sepals that form in the shape of a rose.

Very interesting! I haven't encountered this before.
Ordinary flowers are structurally the same structually, just different ranks morph into petals, stamens, and pestle. This guy ought to be of interest to plant geneticists (flowerologists?
).

It is interesting. I took a trip down to Glasshouse Works yesterday. I found just the one and had to have it. Also in the background of the photo is a nephrolepsis with a crest mutation.Very interesting! I haven't encountered this before.

Glasshouse is still in business? That's great. They have an incredible selection of weird plants. When I last visited, the place was a disorganized jumbled collection. I didn't think they would last, that was over 10 years ago, glad to see they are still around. They definitely have cool plants. I still have a Euphorbia francois from them.

I've been going for 4 years now and it's always been and still is a disorganized collection. The place is like a jungle and sometimes it's hard to walk through certain places. I think it's fun finding gems hidden in all the mess though. They always have a large amount of orders to be sent out. One very large order to a conservatory when I was there back in July. I think most of their sales are online.

Rotheca myricoides beginning to bloom again after a good bit of growing:

@wsteinhoff - That is really nice, the old, no longer valid name for this was Clerodendron ugandense - and I know a few other species of Clerodendron make pretty decent bonsai. How do you think Rotheca myricoides will do being trained as bonsai?

Yes that's what I bought it as (from glasshouse). It has fairly large leaves but it heals very fast (geese attacked it). It's grown around 2 feet since July so it's not slow.
