Dracaena marginata blooming by our Bamboo Gate

See this one large! www.flickr.com/photos/jungle_mama/4587945390/sizes/l/

This morning as I headed out to feed the cats, this Dracaena in full bloom caught my eye. The light was perfect and the pure white stamens contrasted wondrously against our soaring Bamboo Entrance. And I ran in for my camera to show you.

Dracaena marginata (Madagascar Dragon Tree or Red Edged Dracaena) is a flowering plant in the family Ruscaceae, native to Madagascar. It is a slow-growing shrub or small tree, eventually reaching heights of 6 to 15 feet. The thin leaves are linear and a deep, glossy green color with red edges, tapering to a point.
