Not Ready to Pop
I love the seed pods on these flowers almost as much as the flowers. I earlier identified the flower as a heliconia, having found a picture of it with other heliconias, but I now think I am perhaps wrong. I Googled it and was so excited to find a picture that looked exactly like my big pot filled with these flowers. So, I was once again willing to be persuaded that it was an uncharacteristic version of a heliconia when I spotted the url for the flower. It was my picture! Ha. If anyone knows what this is I’d love to find out. It turns brown and pops open to emit very large shiny black round seeds. At any rate, I love these black and whites of what I guess are mystery flower ovaries!!!

This is what the flower looks like, for identification purposes only. Obviously not a black and white!

I have no idea what plant it is. Very unique. But, I was expecting to see a pregnant woman with that title 😉

It looks like a rather testy pregnant woman! Also like a baby bird–in the picture that isn’t a closeup there is definitely a tiny bird waiting to be fed by the larger birds.

Amazing black/white subjects. The texture of the pods are so striking. Wonderful shots.
