Flower
My alstroemeria last September - full of flowers and buds, it was gorgeous all summer and autumn.
Unfortunately this year it has been eaten by something, slugs or snails or some other garden beastie, and this is about all that's left - the rest of the pot is completely empty.
And something a bit more exotic from our holiday in Portugal - I haven't a clue what it is called, but I love how bird-like it looks!

I think that last one is actually called a bird of paradise flower.
The plant below is indeed a "paradise flower", or botanically a Strelitzia, a South-african plant. We have a few of them in pots, raised from seeds, and after five years they now also produce flowers. A bit cumbersome to keep in German climate, though. ;o)
