Treasure flower

September 23, 2023September 23, 2023 / get back, laurettadimmick / Leave a comment

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.

Pretty late summer blossoms

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

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

Unusual, dramatic red blossoms

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!

And so it begins (again)

Another thing to admire about Japanese culture

Their language has a dedicated noun to describe the kind of sunlight that filters through tree leaves. That moves me.

Fall is coming.
