Gad, Lugg ~~ soooo lushly lovely. That second one, with its backlighting, is scrumptious.
I know what Casimira's flower is, but not because I guessed. She posted something else that tipped me off. She can tell or hint as she wishes, though.

She can tell or hint as she wishes, though. I did give it away in the Seed Heads thread in Putting Down Roots I'm afraid. Still,it's cool to be able to see close up how the seeds we've come to know in their maturity are formed. Lugg, I so love your pics. Lush and lovely as Bixa says.

Kerouac - The "same kind of plant" in different stages is either Queen Anne's Lace and is from the Carrot family, or deadly poisoness Hemlock! This link, which is very interesting about this flower, gives a recipe for the flowers. www.carrotmuseum.co.uk/queen.html

I doubt if the Parc de Bercy would have left deadly hemlock growing in reach of a child's chewing mouth.

Just lovely. The foliage in the sequence pics is clearly not hemlock, Queen Ann's Lace a sure bet.

Never forget that most flowers are extremely temporary.

The second pic in # 165 harkens me back to the garden of my youth, 'The Rose of Sharon' Althea.

Absolutely beautiful! Kerouac these are stunning images, I especially like the 'same plant different stages' post The angle of the emerging leaf of your image is brilliant too Casimara...is it a musa or a canna? or something completely different? AND FINALLY....you have that gorgeous plumeria growing next door Curt!? wow...beautifully images too...

Lugg, I absolutely LOVE the way you were able to capture such detail on the Hibiscus. Gorgeous! I wish I could take close photos like that.

Luscious pictures, from Kerouacs's crisply quilted and richly colored leaves through the exquisite, almost erotic studies of the hibiscus.
