Tuesday's theme at NatureFootstep is 'Blo-Ma' (Flower - Macro).
I photographed this odd plant at the National Botanical Gardens, Wales. I have no idea what it is, but I was fascinated by how the little buds were bursting through the thick fibrous white membrane.

ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.

Thanks Lotta :-))
DeleteSpännande och konstig är den. Ser ut som det skulle komma några gula, spetsiga kronblad också.
ReplyDeleteTack Ulla. Ja, det är mycket märkligt och intressant
DeleteVilken speciell blomma! Blir säkert riktigt vacker när den slagit ut sina kronblad.
ReplyDeleteTack Anneli. Jag önskar att jag kunde få tillbaka för att se hur det såg ut med blommor alla öppna.
DeleteTwo fabulous shots of that very interesting plant...
ReplyDeleteThanks Belita :-))
DeleteIt looks vaguely familiar and is very beautifully shot. Is it natural to Wales or a desert plant? Second shot especially lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Benni :-)) No, it's not indigenous to Wales. I photographed it in the Great Glasshouse, which contains plants from around the world.
DeleteGorgeous shots! That's a very interesting looking flower.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! My first impression were a bunch of grapes wrapped in something:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jesh :-))
Deletenice! They have a fine home page but I could not find any plant list. It would have been nice to see it in full bloom.
ReplyDeleteThanks NF :-)) I also checked the NBG home-page but could find no name for it. I go there at least once a year, so hopefully next time I will catch it when it is in full bloom.
DeleteI thought these were made from fabrics at first-that white looks like fluffy cotton-very cool
ReplyDeleteThey are odd, aren't they Kathy? :-))
