   Sometimes the photo makes more sense with the stuff you want to crop out! This is a neat shot!

         I’m headed out today for Santa Barbara — will be there till Jan 3, “celebrating” Christmas, New Year’s, and another birthday! Should be more relaxed than last trip, but there’s still legal stuff that needs help..

   I like leaving interesting odds and ends in pictures too but sometimes I try a couple of different crops, just to see the difference, I really LIKE the old wire or for that matter the overhead wires. Interesting contrasts.

   Best as it is, with the plant in context

      Glad we agree. Sometimes the surroundings say as much as the flower.

   Looks like a Cazania to me too – the leaves do it best. I’ve never seen one that colour thought – Amazing! 🙂

      No, I haven’t either. I’ve never seen one one-colored or with such wide and rounded petals overlapping like that, but I agree the leaves did it first–plus the skinny-petaled new bloom that hasn’t plumped out yet.

         I’ve got some pure yellow ones and yellow with orange/golden lower parts to the petals (which are rounder and not pointed like yours)

         I wonder if it could have cross-pollinated with something?

            Possibly. Man keeps trying to improve on nature, for sure.

               I checked the yellow ones today…

               Had exactly the Orange ones petal pattern but for more rounded ends.

               Man’s gotta do… whatever he damn well feels like doing and the hell with the consequences!

               Someone else can clean up the mess so long as I get any credit! 😦
