FFTD: Hibiscus

Posted on Updated on

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

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

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!

I haven’t a clue what these are but, they are so sweet (I know what these are, now!).

Flower for the Day

FFTD: Unusual

Posted on Updated on

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!
