Description
I found the centre of this flower very unusual and other worldly. It was quite feminine, with the lip like stem and arms that seemed to embrace the centre body.
These big, ruffled, bell-shaped blooms come in a wide variety of shapes and colour. It is a tuberous plant in the same family as the African violet.
