#Calceolaria integrifolia ’Kentish Hero’ such a good #orange. Think I might do an area with several Calceolaria and #Mimulus. Should be quite lively. #plants #garden #plantingdesign #flowers #gardening #riotouscolour #colourinthegarden #colourmylife #flowerpower #fleurs #jardin #garten #flores #blummen #bloemen #fiori #follow #followme #gardenersgarden #gardeninspiration #oranges #fire #iplantsgarden #iplantsman #writer #blogger #blog (at Perth, Perth and Kinross) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChNfY7sKv2z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

STRANGE FLOWERS - Calceolaria uniflora, native in cold weather of Tierra del Fuego, South America. It’s also known as Happy alien or Darwin’s slipper.
Calceolaria uniflora is an evergreen, perennial plant with darkish-green leaves and erect to ascending stems. It has a shallow root system and grow tight to the ground, up to 5 inches (13 cm) tall. The unique flowers almost look like little penguins marching over the rocks. They are orange-yellow with varying amounts of deep garnet-red to bright chestnut freckling or shading in the throat and on the outside of the vertical lower lip. Each bloom has a white band across an open “mouth”, with burgundy markings above and below it.
It comes from Central and South America in the cooler plains areas where water and bright sunlight aren’t so abundant.
