Sleeping Beauty?


For the All Saints' weekend, a kind of "flower sculpture" had replaced earlier autumn flowers in one of the public flower beds in the cemetery. I asked Google image search to identify it for me, and it says it's a Rhodochiton atrosanguineus. In Swedish it's called by a name that would translate as "Sleeping Beauty's skirt" (referring to the classic story of the enchanted princess). From what I read about it now it does not seem to be frost hardy, though - so I suppose only a temporary decoration for the past holiday. We've been very close to having frosty nights lately...
