Pink Flowers With Whiskers
I saw these beautiful pink flowers with whiskers at the park where JoJo has his soccer conditioning every Saturday, but I didn't know what they are. I typed in "pink flowers with whiskers" and found out that they are known as "spider plant or grandpa's whiskers."
I had a good chuckle out of it since I didn't think "whiskers" could be used to describe flower, but apparently that were what they're called. These flowers grew tall and healthy in full sun at the park, and strikingly gorgeous!
The park has many small squares along the parking lot, and is asked families to adopt one square to plant flowers in it. Each year different flowers are planted by different families. I love this idea, and love seeing the varieties of flowers in each square!

Icy, what a cool idea that is for families to adopt a spot and plant flowers. I love that. I think it's pretty funny that you googled pink flowers with whiskers and was able to identify it :D I've never seen the flower. It's very exotic and beautiful. Fantastic mosaic composition.

ReplyDeleteThis is a most delightful plant! Love the idea of "whiskers"! Describes the features of the plant so well!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is a great idea to invite people to contribute a space to make a park beautiful. I think I will suggest that to our village people! Thanks! And oh, the flowers are truly striking!
ReplyDeletethey look so lovely! i love the pink petals and the whiskers!- makes me think of a fountain with pink water!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous pink color of this lovely flower. Your macros are exquisite and the mosaic too.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of families planting in the park, challenging each other.

Love the family planting in the park idea! These flowers are all beautiful. Flowers with whiskers. Who would have thought. ;)

ReplyDeleteVery informative indeed. Thanks for sharing it!
Talk about a delicate flower... this one definitely is! I love those petals

I really like the name "Grandpa's whiskers." I've always called it spider plant but like the other name so much more. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I am a firm believer in Google! Google just seems to know everything, ha!

Hiya,
ReplyDeletePretty shades of pink.
I believe some call it Cleome.
That is indeed a lovely idea, having people take on a bit of the park and give such a variety of plants.

I really like the name Grandpa's Whiskers, I've only heard it called a spider plant. By either name it is gorgeous. I really like the idea of families planting flowers along a parking lot.
ReplyDeleteThe flower does look like it has whiskers. It puts me in the mind of my cats!
