This is the original color version of yesterday’s mystery flower. If no one guesses what it is, I’ll publish the solution tonight.
For Cee’s FOTD

It looks like a garbage back with a pole in it. Some rare bloom from the lesser western Antilles that you have cultivated?

Oh thanks for all that color~! Now I know what it is~! It is an English flower called a “brolly” but the French word for it is a Parapluie while in the US it is called A bumbershoot. And the photo was taken in the rain at 10 Downing Street, London, England, by the wife of one Boris Johnson. Is that enough information to give me the prize….?
MY BROLLY (umbellae) by Boris
I don’t know how to work my brolly; when I open it, it’s kind of rolley the wind catches it and blows it up catching all the rain and it wont stop.
The ladies refuse when I offer to share it because they say it gets their hair wet because of the way when I try to open it up the bottom always becomes the top.

You won. You are exactly right. It closes up so strangely…

Now I would guess it’s some sort of floor mop, or a gadget to clean and smooth sand (I’ve never seen a shiny plastic umbrella that scrunched up that way!)..

I saw the answer first. I wouldn’t have guessed – although the handle should have given it away.

I cheated and erased the handle on the original.
