What Unusual Petals

I didn't notice the tips of the petals until I put this on the computer - I was busy trying to figure out what kind of flower/weed this was. Does anyone have any idea? Again, just one of a kind in the field.

I've never seen anything like it. But it is strikingly beautiful!

Great use of diagonal line and amazing flower

No idea what these are. Sort of neat they way they change colors like that. Great shot.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I have never seen anything like that before. Beautiful catch!

That is an interesting plant; no idea what it is. Think there’s a bug hiding in there too.

A great shot of this lovely flower.

Lovely flowers and great shot.

Real interesting looking plant. Are the petals green one side and purple the other or do the leaves unfold and change colour?

[Pigeons Farm]

nice

So interesting and unusual I had to try and find it! I believe it's spotted bee balm, aka horse mint. Beautiful shot of it, Milanie! https://www.amazon.com/Package-Horsemint-punctata-Seed-Needs/dp/B00PMXWVE8

that's interesting, seems the petals and leaves are combined.

[Merrelyn]

Lovely colours and composition Milanie :)

@juliedduncan I'm so glad you found that shot - My first thought was horse mint because of the two tiers - but the petal part threw me - but I see in your link that they have the green tips. Thanks a bunch!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

oh yes, this is gorgeous!

[Julie Duncan]

@milaniet It was a fun challenge for me as I had no idea what it was. So, thank YOU! ;)
