Lugg, the hibiscus 'studies' are exquisite!! Kerouac, I love this last pic. I believe it's a plant called Gaura. I am not positive because I can't see the foliage real well. Fabulous shot.

I say Gaura, too. I love that picture, with the stars shimmering above the fluffy pale foxtails. Gorgeous study, Casimira. It reminds me of ikat cloth. Here are a couple in the same color family, but fuzzy ~~

Thanks Lugg. Yes, that's one of the passiflora native to here also known as 'Maypop' It's the larval food of the Gulf Fritillary butterfly.

I think some of these flowers are going to start suing us for harrassment. Anyway... These aren't even flowers. The flowers are the little crappy things hiding underneath.

Oh gooodness Bixa, you're loving that camera and it's loving you!! Spectacular!! (What is the bloom?) . Kerouac, what is that plant/flower?? (I recognize the last one but not the prior ones).

I don't have the slightest idea, casimira. I am an ignoramus. However, I will mention the fact that this is the first time that I have ever seen that particular plant, and yet I have seen a whole hell of a lot of plants in my time.

Thanks, Casimira. I have some less artsy shots of that flower to post on What's in Bloom. It's Spatodeya campanulate, aka African tulip tree.
That's Ricinus in Kerouac's pics.

I think cattails are really interesting. There will be some to see down in my sinkhole/pond, but not until much later in the year.
Cheery, that's an interesting perspective. What type of plant is it?

Exquisite..... The second one of the sago looks to be like a thousand dainty hands and fingers reaching upward, very magical and mystical....

So beautiful....cheery is cheered up.
My plants are mostly over now...cut back and mulched or tucked away in the cold frame and greenhouse until the spring....*sigh*
Hopefully those of you living in warmer climes will continue to enthrall me with your delicious botanical images....

Cheery, that's an interesting perspective. What type of plant is it? Sorry htmb...not been around much of late...the plant is a ricinus (Caster oil plant) I think it's a weed in some areas of the world but I grow it as an annual for structural interest in the garden. It doesn't survive the frosts here in the middle of the UK.
