Flower of Dracaena fragrans (巴西鐵樹)
Saturday, March 7th, 2009
This plant has been with us for more than 8 years. On average, it blossoms every 10 years. For Chinese, it is considered good luck for the business when it does blossoms. The whole blossom process last for about a month. The flowers are white, small and very adorable. The flower opens only at night around 5pm ~ 7pm. It will close and drys out before the sun comes out. Thus, it is like a flowering firework. Each night will have new flower opening and close until all the flowers have their turn. Hope you guys enjoy the following pictures as much as we do.
