(No fair. It is actually the calyx that the huge yellow hibiscus from a few days ago fell off of! It’s so pretty that I just left it in the vase.)
This morning, it looks like this: (Click on photos to enlarge.)
For Cee’s FOTD
Can anyone guess what flower this is? FOTD Sept 7, 2020

I don’t think it’s a flower. I think it’s a seed pod.

I knew it wasn’t a flower flower but didn’t recognise the flowers left-overs 😀

Oh, I should have known this! As children we used to pluck the small protrusion and stick it to the end of our noses 🙂

It’s beautiful, Judy — I would have said it looks like a wax flower votive holder! Fascinating that it folded upward in the morning, just as if the flower was still there!

I think it is folded up for good, but I should go see. Yes, still folded up a bit, but even the flowers never spread out again after they’ve folded up.

No, going on about hibiscus is appropriate. What an amazing glower. And so prolific! A new gift (or more) every day. Around the calendar here.

I recognized this immediately as I was just examining one outside (not my house) and wondering…If I plucked this (seed?), how can I ‘plant’ it in my yard?? Do you have an answer?
LikeLike
I just watched a video: let it dry on the stem. the seeds are within the ‘pod’ – ready to be planted.

Have you ever seen a bird of paradise seed? They have orange feather plumes! I have some I got 46 years ago in Hawaii. Wonder if they’d bloom? After over 50 years of growing them, I’ve only had one go to seed–here in Mexico, and the seeds looked the same. Love it. I can’t remember whether I planted any or not this last time, but if I can find them, I’m tempted to try to grow the really old one. It still looks exactly like it did when I got it in Hawaii.

Can’t hurt to try. Take a photo of the seed – sounds interesting. I swiped a couple of the hibiscus “pods” to plant

I have a shot somewhere. I’ll look for it.

Ha..I just love that the seeds give a peek at how flashy the flowers are going to be. Like a dress rehearsal.
