What’s Blooming January

Evergreen pear
The profusely flowering Pyrus kawakamii is commonly known here as the Evergreen pear. Pyrus kawakamii's common name “Evergreen pear” is somewhat misleading; it actually loses a good portion of its leaves in the winter. However it rarely loses all of its leaves.
Bloodleaf
Bloodleaf (Iresine lindenii) glowing in the late afternoon sun. The plant is native to Ecuador.
Bambusa tuldoides
This Punting stick bamboo (Bambusa tuldoides) may be living on borrowed time due to a phenomenon common to these grassy plants –many of them die after they flower. This particular clump may have been induced into flowering before its time due to the stress of a recent scale infestation.
