I looked through my Audubon book 3 times and I can't seem to match both flower and leaves so I'm unwilling to venture a guess! But I like Terry's alternative name since I followed suit and fav'd it too!
@olivetreeann@sarasdadandmom Thanks for the faves. I guess I'll have to go to the source of all garden wisdom at school, the science teacher, to see if she knows.
@allie912 I had jumped over to your other shot and written up what I thought the flower was but when I went to post the comment it wanted me to sign up for flikir. I forgot to come back here and rewrite it. So let's see if I can remember. It's called "Lizard's Tail" because of the shape of the flower fronds which is emphasized by its genus and common name "Sauro" (Lizard) and "ourus" (tail). It is mostly a southern plant which is found in marshy and the margin areas of swamps.
allison ...no idea what the flower is , but hey it's a gr8 image, your new camera is working well and taking fabulous images....you've set a high standard that you have to keep up :)
