I'm Watching You!

From the Lurie Gardens at Millennium Park, but no idea what it is. It looked so alien-like to me, with the long pointy nose, eyes, and an elaborate hat!

[PhylM-S]

It'a lovely and after reading your narrative - I couldn't agree more! A very purple alien! Love it!

[Marnie]

Oh yes, I'll buy purple alien.

[Diana]

It really has a face, great shot of this lovely flower.

[Dianne]

Ha - best keep away from this one!

[Kathy A]

It sure does look like an alien, well spotted

[Beryl Lloyd]

Looks rather evil with its beady eyes and pointy nose ! - Isn't a vivid imagination marvellous !!

[Shanne]

[FBailey]

The plant that bites! How very unusual but v photogenic

[Lou Ann]

Great closeup! Cool “flower” for sure.

[Casablanca]

That really is a scary face, like an Italian masked ball in one way and it looks as if he can fly with those purple wings spread behind!

[Clare Gadsby]

ha certainly looks alien - but maybe comes in peace ;)
