Probably the most beautiful flower I have ever seen

We have a Parrot Plant in the UK. but it's not as exotic looking as that ,it's beautiful,Thanks for showing us.

 

Hi Rosa

Apparently these flowers are rare and it could be part of a show garden.

Nice link Gogs :thumb:

 

My goodness Pip that flower it is very well named it's a stunner! Hel.xxx.

 

That's amazing!

 

Fantastic Pip,as soon as I saw it I thought it had an Impatiens look about it. The flower is similar in type to the invasive Balsam and also the Impatiens Congo Cockatoo variety a sometimes seen house plant with red and yellow flowers. This one is a beautiful colour. I wonder if it will ever be propagated for commercial production.

 

WOW. It looks just like a Parrot, Its Beautifull..

 

a very beautiful plant, 2 years ago i bought a couple of parrot plants on e-bay, discovered that they are part of the busy lizzie family. the plants i had were smaller flowers but they do look like parrots, and they were of course a great talking point.
