Mystery Flower, FOTD June 20, 2020

IMG_8982

I just glanced at this flower growing in the pot where normally kalanchoe grow and went in to get my camera. It was only while I was transferring it into my photos that I realized those were definitely not kalanchoe leaves. I have no idea what it is or how it got there. Either I bought something I didn’t know the name of or it is a volunteer brought in by another plant. At any rate, it is thriving there and the kalanchoes all seem to be gone, so I will enjoy it as a mystery unless some kind soul tells me what it is. This entire bunch is about 2 1/4 inches across. Happy Solstice!

This is another first blooming of my newest hibiscus–just a baby as you can see by its proximity to the ground. It is just as fertile as the others, as you can see by today’s bloom. I just can’t stop buying hibiscus. My only vice. (?)

Indian Shot Lily: FOTD June 4, 2020

IMG_6769

I decided I liked this plant with all its warts exposed. These ladies grow in profusion from large round black seeds hard enough to go through wood that were once used successfully as shot when troops ran out of ammunition. The next year the battlefield was covered in India Shot Lilies, thus giving them their name. What nature does with what we do to it…amazing. (Also called edible cannas.)
