Unusual and Unique Plants
Looking through my hard drive, I found these wonderful and unique looking plants, and had no idea what their names are.
They are, of course, can be seen at Belle Isle Conservatory in early March. When I returned in April, they were not there anymore. The flowers had been long gone!
Curve Up In balls
I saw this branch full of red balls, and reached out onto walk way around the Conservatory! They look so strange, but amazing.
Amazing Opening
On this branch, most of the balls were open, and only a few balls were left at the very tip. I was trying to take the picture with a better background, but it didn't work out. The flowers didn't show up well.
What Is It?
You can see half of Jojo's face in this picture because he was as curious as I was when he walked up to it. It was wonderful to see something different!
All Gone
Here the flowers were all gone, and the branch just had these sticks left on it. I wish I had a couple of close up pictures, but my camera couldn't zoom in any more.

Icy, they are wonderful & you have captured them so nicely!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of these plants you found at the conservatory. The first one looks like a bottle brush bush about to bloom. They grew in our garden in California. I never noticed before how beautiful and unusual the buds look.
ReplyDeleteCan't say that I know their names, hon. But they surely are pretty. I've just come back in from my own garden. It's a lovely day here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs!
ReplyDeleteoh, i love it always you are showing us the flower's stages Icy. like Diane, though I saw a lot of that kind of flowers here in CA, but I never noticed how beautiful their buds are! I am paying more attention now, not only to the full blooms, but to the earl buds to the waning skeleton of the flower inspired by you.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever seen these flowers before, so I can't help with their names, but I love the first one!
ReplyDeleteJudy,
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Diane,
It looks like a bottle brush!
Anne,

Rena,
Thank you..
betchai,
Those flowers just pop out and calling for my attention.
Lilfix,
There are so many names to remember, I'm very bad with names.
These are beautiful pictures, BC. I love the color of the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI like it most when it was curled
