Photos Bush Infurno, Bush Emerald, Big Red (Kangaroo Paws)
On Sunday Mr Kristopher and I went for a walk up to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Junction Village with cameras in hand hoping to take some photos. Just inside the front gate there are mass planting of different varieties of Anigozanthos common name (Kangaroo Paws.) Some of them are in full flower and just look amazing, striking orange colour, and the Bush Emerald with it's deep green and maroon also striking. Big Red is just now coming into flower so in about a weeks time I will again go for a walk to the gardens to take a photo of Big Red in full flower.
The Kangaroo paws comprise of a small group of 11 species genus Anigozanthso and a single species in the genus Maropidia. They are perennial herbs consisting of strap like leaves arising from underground rhizomes. The flowers occur in clusters on storks that emerge from the base of the stork. The plant is adaptable to a variety of soils including poorly drained soils. For the best results in flowering it is best that they are grown in a sunny position and to be kept well watered. Regular fertilizing after flowering with a general purpose mix may be helpful.
