On a walk in the neighborhood I saw this garden with the first daffodils I have seen this spring, along with Mr. Cottontail. I couldn't resist snapping a few pics. 3/14/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
This pretty bougainvillea plant was photographed on one of my daily walks in the neighborhood. This plant grows well here, and is thickly covered with blooms right now. Most of the plants I see are the more common bright magenta colored, but occasionally I see one like this, my favorite. 5/30/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
As I have been walking in my neighborhood, I have been walking by this plant for the last few weeks. First it shot up the stems with small buds (which I actually thought were the flowers), and then the buds began to open into really strange flowers. I have no idea what plant this is, although some of you Smuggers may well know. The flowers were so strange and different looking, I had to grab a couple of shots. UPDATE: Thank you to Pascual for the Latin name of this plant, Anigozanthos flavidus. She gave the French name, which Terry translated to Kangaroo Paws. I googled the Latin name, and an English name was given as Velvet Amber. What a great group of very smart and knowledgeable photogs we have! 5/15/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
