I love both color and flowers. These photos were forwarded to me and made my day. I expect many of these strangers on this page belong to species we are familiar with…such as orchids, roses and lilies.
| It looks like spring with its delicate cream and pink spiky petals |
| This isn't colorful, but it's certainly an attention getter. |
| Amazing perfection in each layer of petals as they increase from the small center petals to the largest. |
| |
| Speaking of perfection, these white outlined petals are rather neat. |
This combination of colors is rather
unusual. So is the arrangement of
petaled flowers in a perfect ball.
| Would these be from our own west? Probably not. A close look shows they pop up on leafless stems, and appear to prefer a rocky mountainous rocky terrain. |
| A tree like this would be nice and so would a flower pot of these beauties below. |
These appears to be a nice floral arrangement but since all these pictures are of seldom seen flowers, these must all be on the same plant.
| To have one bright red petal is a little unusual and makes these flowers appear to be laughing. |
Take a second look at this one… those red petals below this 'basket' appearing center? This the most unusual center ( I have no idea what something like this should be called) I've ever seen.
| Should these be thought of as exotic blue bells or do you see them as an open mouth? |
| These are some colorful twists…all growing from the same stem. |
| This reminds me of our Fourth of July fireworks. |
| I wouldn't mind having a rose bush filled with these. |
| This is no beauty, that's for sure, but fascinating all the same. If a person was walking through the grass and came across one of these would they jump? They don't appear to be very large but I think it would be startling..It certainly looks like an animal sticking its head out of the foliage. |
| Fluffy white centered in green petal-appearing leaves appear at first glance, to be girls in fluffy white skirts. A closer look destroys that imaginary image, for the smaller part of the flower resembles a bird's head…not a girl's. |
| The flower resembles those of the spider wort in both color and shape, but these appear to grow on a tall stem. |
| A stem of white and coral flowers and buds |
| A beautiful flower with a twist. |
| Can this be real? It is! Unbelievable and charming. |
poisonous…really unusual
to be blue totally blue…
flour, stem and leaves.
Unusual shape> for a flower.
Dancing girls?
chandelier?
 |
| Is this an iris? It appears to be closely related with blooms that are half and half blue and white.
A few statistics about this blog:
First established……………….June, 2010
Posts published………………..138
Page views by reader ………..61,891
Signed on followers/members…14
Approximate number of readers who read the Aluminist: unknown, but I betcha those 14 followers don't make 61,891 log-ins!
It would please me greatly, if more of you readers would take a moment and go to the right side of the page, just below my photo, and find the "Click on this
site" strip. Click it, and a pop-up sign in form appears.
There, you may click on either the Google or Yahoo button and you're
finished…now have become a follower of this blog…and when I see that number of followers go from 14 to 15, I will be so-o-o pleased.
If you have neither a Google or Yahoo ID, use the
button that is for that situation; click and fill out the new form that pops
up. All it asks for is your name and password. Those are only for
Google or Blogger's benefit. This appears to be much simpler than it was years ago.
