Although my plants do have freshly bloomed flower buds which are "harvested" by the olive-backed sunbirds within a day of its appearance, it is sad to notice that the green leaves were infested with fungal spots as shown clearly in the photograph attached below:
Those yellow fungal spots were akin to skin diseases for plants & aren't curable. A strong & effective fungicide would have to be applied thinly on the leaves regularly to control the fungal condition.
The latest photographs of flowers that sprung out of the "scales" of the red "corns".
Although it isn't blooming as vigorously as before, having some flower buds is better than not having any at all.
So we've just got to take comfort in being complacent with the existing situation. We're keeping our fingers crossed that these plants wouldn't die on us...
