September blooms. Poignant and sweet. I wish I had photographed these blossoms with my hand as a measure, for they were almost the size of my palm!

I love these bright blossoms. They seem almost unnatural, like if you asked an imaginative child to design a flower. According to PlantNet app, they are known as treasure flowers. I like that name; seems appropriate.

Blooming their ever-loving hearts out, vibrant before the first frost!

Oh, how I adore the color of this triumphant vine!

The gardeners at Denver’s Washington Park really know a thing or two about horticultural drama, whether it’s the height of a plant, the color, the texture, the scent, whatever. This red blossom is no exception to the rule.

I was unfamiliar with this plant, so I looked it up on my trusty phone app, PlantNet. It turns out this is the castor oil plant. Who knew?!

I can’t give credit, I found the image on Facebook. It’s why I’m still on that website almost daily. You never know what wonders you might stumble across!
