Milkweed Blossom: Flower of the Day, Aug 21, 2016

Milkweed Blossom

Version 3jdb photo


I’ve seen milkweed pods but never the blossoms until my friend Betty invited me into her back yard to see the Monarch butterfly caterpillars feasting on the leaves of the milkweed she planted for that very purpose.  I’m crazy about the blossoms and got some of her seed to launch my own hatchery. Yes, I got photos of the caterpillars  which I’ll publish another day.  Don’t want to detract attention from these beautiful and unique blooms today.

A surprise when I went down on a photo expedition in my garden this morning. I’ve never had this color of dahlia in my garden before. I guess it is another example of chaos theory!!

I think these Thunbergias look like they have been ripped out of paper.

Newest Addition, Giant Hibiscus: Flower of the Day, Aug. 10, 2016

I had to buy this new hibiscus plant with the largest blooms I’ve ever seen. This photo was taken a day or more past its prime, so the petals are curled back so it is smaller than it was two days ago.  This first photo is a macro, but . . .

zooming out and holding my hand up indicates its approximate size, although before it curled up it was at least 4 inches larger across!

Sitting at my desk I just looked up and realized I have a perfect side view angle, even though I am 20 feet away with window glass in between us. Here is the shot I just took:

A girl can never have too many hibiscus plants!

And, surprise of surprises, here is the exact same flower the next day.  You’ll be able to better get an idea of its size: https://judydykstrabrown.com/2016/08/11/another-go-at-the-giant-hibiscus-flower-of-the-day-aug-11-2016/

I am believing Tamara that this is lupine.  If you agree or have a different idea of what this flower is, please let me know. Sighted this flower in a field in Sea Ranch, Northern California.

I’m sure by the time I see this hibiscus bud again, it will have burst out into the light of day.  I love the potential bound up in this photo.
