This is the beginning of a huge (giant is more applicable) flower that comes out from the flax like plant on a thick stalk! I can never remember the name. There are about 5 of these on one plant and they end up overhanging the lawn edge and you bang your head as you mow the lawn!
I have now posted a photo of another flower that is a bit further advanced in the flower growing project!
Three good things;
1. Dandelion donging again.
2. Planted green beans which climb.
3. Visit from my niece who is only 1 year younger than me.
Wow that's an impressive plant. Does it have a perfume when opened? I bet it looks spectacular when the whole plant is in flower. Beautiful capture! Fav!
I can't even imagine a flower that big! Wow! I don't really know garden plants. I'm more of a wildflower girl. You'll have to post a picture when it opens up.
Rather a weird & wonderful flower & the picture of you walking underneath as I'd dongs you on the head is riveting....the plant must be very tall! Must look at the bigger one!
This is a great shot of a massive bud - it seems to be reaching towards you with pursed lips wanting to be kissed. I think it is commonly known as a Mexican Lily or if you want to be technical Beschorneria yuccoides, so not really a lily. There are a lot of them growing on the coastal roadside just as you come into Motueka.
