Flecker in mid-winter .

Took a few people around the gardens over the Brom Conference .. amazed at how warm this winter has been . Its fooled a Dracontium gigas into flowering . The foliage was past its prime , all the leaves had been trimmed off , and when the flower was placed front and center in the Fernery , even the stem had been removed . Still a very impressive spike ,, easily a meter tall .

Some of the Cyrtosperma plants had fresh flowers , most impressive were these large leaves on an Alocasia reginula .
