FFTD: Hibiscus
These flowers are frequently found in teas. They have a high Vitamin C content. I’ve tried them but, the flavor does not appeal to me that much. I lean more towards ginger and peppermint teas. ~Vic
Flower for the Day
FFTD: Passiflora
Or, Passion Flower. I’m doing a happy dance as I just discovered Pl@nt Net. It should be much easier to identify my flowers & other plants. ~Vic
Flower for the Day
FFTD: Pale Green
Update:
As it turns out, thanks to Pl@ntNet, this is an Iberis Umbellata or, Globe Candytuft. I think it may have already bloomed and the center colors are all that is left. It appears to be the same thing as my previous post.
This looks like a tiny bird nest with eggs. If anyone knows what this is, let me know. ~Vic
Flower for the Day
FFTD: Flowering Dogwood
Cornus Florida & the North Carolina state flower.
It is so small but, very cute.

Flower for the Day
FFTD: Pale Lovelies
I was intending to do a Movie Monday but, I’m struggling with stuff older than 100 years. I will tend to that later. ~Vic
Update:
With help from a fellow blogger, the below photo is a Hellebore. Thank you!

Flower for the Day
FFTD: Unusual
Out on one of my walks, several of these happy things were poking out through the wrought iron fence. I haven’t the first clue what this is but, it’s flower-ish, I suppose. It is quite striking. If anyone knows what this is, SPEAK. ~Vic
Update:
Thanks to another blogger, this strange flower is a Euphorbia, or Spurge, which is the same family that Poinsettias come from. This particular variety is either an amygdaloides variant called ‘Robbiae’ or, a Redwing Charam, which is a hybrid of amygdaloides and martinii. I can’t tell. Thank you!
