The years first lasiandra?

Is this the first local lasiandra flower for this year?

Well it's  the first I have seen locally in Hornsby .

One thing thats special apart from their being purple is that lasiandras tend to change color depending on the light.

The petals are just thin enuff tho they look thick  that depending on  time of day and angle of light when you're  photos  the color in the resulting images varies. 

Lasiandras are semi tropical in origin and are at their best after rain.

If you think you have one dont over prune it. Yes they tend to get very plain even dull before they flower but its worth waiting for them to flower!
