Mystery Flower for FOTD Dec 9, 2024

I can’t find the name of this flower photographed in my friend’s yard. Any suggestions from Google don’t have the exact shape of petals or leaves. Do you know what it is?

Although I know the name of this flower, I can’t for the life of me remember it and the plant identifier refuses to name it, too.  Someone help. A friend with a sense of humor set this up for me because he knew I’ve been crazy busy and didn’t have time to post it. The title and instructions are his!!! The flowers, however, whatever they are called, are my addition. 

(They may be  copa de oros (as not all copa de oros are gold, in spite of their name.) But, I’ve never noticed that little white flower like the center of a bougainvillea in the center of a copa de oro.)

Beginning or Ending? For FOTD Sept 19, 2023

I can’t decide whether this was a flower whose petals had fallen or one that hadn’t yet budded out. I meant to keep checking it, but life intervened and I forgot to. What do you think?

Banana Bloom FOTD Aug 17, 2023

 

 

This was a surprise find in my garden the other day. I know what it is. Do you? I’ll tell after five guesses!!!! It is huge, by the way.  At least a foot long.  Actually, the second two people guessed correctly. It is a banana bloom! I’m going to have bananas this year!!!

Hibiscus for Cee’s FOTD June 23, 2023

 

When I stopped to take a photo of this flower on the way out of my friend’s house, she told me I had taken a photo of this same flower as a bud the last time I visited–which had been perhaps a year before.  Obviously, not the exact same flower, but a flower on the same bush. I think it is a hibiscus, but I don’t see the usual stamen and pistils. What do you think?
