I promised Bernadette I’d show this little creature today. She saw little aliens in my milkweed blossom photo yesterday. I thought they looked like either aliens or ducks. How do you vote?

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.

Another Go at the Giant Hibiscus: Flower of the Day, Aug 11, 2016

8 Replies

For some reason, the hibiscus bloom that was shriveled up yesterday rejuvenated itself today so I must publish these three photos to give you a better idea of its actual size.  I love finding a hibiscus I don’t already have, and this one is a beauty!!! I’m like a mom with a new baby. I just have to keep sharing its progress! (Big baby.)

Click on first photo and arrows to see enlarged views of the other two.


Below is yesterday’s view of the exact same flower.  I’ve never seen a flower “unwilt” like this!! Full one day, wilted the next, full again the next.  https://judydykstrabrown.com/2016/08/10/newest-addition-giant-hibiscus-flower-of-the-day-aug-10-2016/

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/
