This little carved cherry tomato nosegay from my plate at Azteca Restaurant is as close as I could get to a flower shot today.

Carrion Flower: Flower of the Day, Jan 10, 2018
STAPELIA GIGANTEA–one of a few flowers that smells like rotting meat and so attracts mainly flies. The purpose, however, is not for the flower to feed on the flies, but rather for the flies to pollinate the flowers.
(I loved the similarity of the starfish photo I used in my last post and the shape of the Carrion Flower, so had to put them together in this post.)

Kalanchoe: Flower of the Day, Jan 5, 2018
I think the mystery is solved concerning how one plant could have such a variety of blooms on it. See clues below.
(Click on first photo to enlarge all.)
After a few days, it became clear that there were actually three different colors of kalanchoe planted in each pot! Tres por uno. So much for the variety of buds and blooms on one plant.

Shaving Brush Tree: December 28, 2017 Flower of the Day
The scientific name of this tree, native to southern Mexico, is as surreal as the bloom. it is pseudobombax ellipticium! More commonly known as the shaving brush tree.

This gorgeous anthurium was a gift from cross-the-street neighbors Brad and Dave. Such a unique color. I love it.
