Firecracker Flower for FOTD Mar 3, 2024

The scientific name for this flower is Crossandra infundibuliformis.  Isn’t that a mouthful?

Happy May Day!!! Firecracker Flowers, FOTD May 1, 2023

Firecrackerplant. This is the hardest flower to photograph in my garden. I simply can’t get detail even at a close range.

Since it is May Day—once one of my very favorite holidays–I’m including some links to past May Days: This One with photos of May Baskets I made for friends in 2017 and This One entitled “Scissors, Tissue Paper and General MacArthur” written in 2013 about May Baskets made when I was a little girl.

Firecracker Plant: FOTD May 19, 2021

I have been trying to photograph these Russelia plant blooms for twenty years now and I still haven’t been able to get a good shot. I don’t know why neither the focus or color ever come out good, no matter what time of the day I take them.  I’m showing these photos mainly because I loved the O shaped dried vine that had caught in the plant. It just seemed to convey a message!  I won’t label it as “The Story of O” as that isn’t quite the message I want to convey.

Firecracker Plant: Flower of the Day

firecrackerplant, perhaps because they just generally have a very simple shape.  The best photo opportunity I ever had (and missed–) Was of a whole row of lipstick blooms bobbing across the terrace–each carried by a worker for the leafcutter ants. I can’t believe that it didn’t occur to me to take a photo.  Or perhaps I did and it is stuck on some old hard drive that I’ve forgotten.
