Fuzzy Purple Flowers
In my friend's yard, she has a collection of beautiful flowers. Some grow on their own, and some she planted. These particular fuzzy flowers came back year after year, and they grew very tall.
On the day of my visit, the wind was strong, and most of my pictures were terribly blurry, or the focus was not what I had in mind. These were what I could salvage after shooting like a nut.
Our typical conversation about these flowers were like this:
Me, "What is this flower called?"
My friend, "I don't know, fuzzy?"
Me, "What is that one called?"
My friend, "Flower!"
Me, "OK."
My friend, "Haha..."
UPDATE--These flowers were identified as Blazing Star Flowers by bfarr!
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

What a pretty purple flower. I really like those little curly tendrils. They turned out great Icy, taking photos in the wind is always a challenge. Without seeing the leaves I'm not sure but maybe Blazing Star?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful purple. You are so lucky to take pictures of these. Your place is probably full of these! Tweeted :)

ReplyDeleteThat is the nice thing about digital cameras - you can shoot a hundred photos, knowing that most of them will just be deleted. You surely got a good crop here! I agree about the curly tendrils being so cute!
