@judithdeacon@debsulzberger I'm sorry to say I don't know the name of these flowers. They were fascinating to me the way the opened up and inverted themselves. The little buds are as small as a pencil eraser.
Wow, what a cool and unusual flower! It's so pretty. I'm trying to figure out how you have access to such a wonderful variety of flowers. Are you an avid gardener, a florist, . . . .
Beautiful Denise!!! Everytime I look at your flowers I wonder where do you get such beauties .....thank you so much for yur comments on my blog, glad you liked the lamp!!!
@lisjam1@clarissajohal Many people ask if I am a florist or work in a flower shop. The answer is "no". Right now, I'm taking a break after making it through my first 365 year. I am posting photos that I took this summer. I happen to live near tons of gardens, flower shops, garden centers, a spectacular arboretum, public gardens and a conservatory.
@raejae Thank you for finding you photo...you were right! They are the exact same flower. The problem is I do not know the name of it. If I do find out, I will let you know. They are so unusual. Thanks again.
@denisedaly :) It was fun to see the flower from someone else! I don't know where it is regional to... if I knew the name I could find out. :) thanks for sharing yours; you've got a beautiful shot there. :)
@denisedaly looks a lot like a wild cotton bush to me. We get them a lot in Queensland. The reds are usually in wetter areas than the whites, the sap stings and they are poisonous to cattle, but unpalatable so not really dangerous to them They house the caterpillas for the monarch butterfly. Look up dnr or qld museum to get botanical name. Great pic, lovely colour and clarity.
The photographer being Denise - I love the composition, details, texture and lines!
Gorgeous!! ;o)
