Mellow Yellow Monday #85 - More From the Botanical Garden - September 6, 2010

ReplyDeleteInteresting blooms. Those are so pretty, Carmen, and nicely photographed too. I love it! :) I spot a busy bee! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are just fantastic pictures, Carmen! Love them!
ReplyDeletewow this is a unique flower. i have not seen any of these before. what is it called?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers from the botanical garden.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely. What sort of flower is that?
ReplyDeleteHey Carmen, LOVELY photos. That's quite a talent with close ups you have. I noticed you were promoting your book on Greensboro Daily Photo. Do you have a link to Greensboro?
ReplyDeleteThat's a really nifty flower. Must be a west coast one.
ReplyDeleteThose are true cool flowers. Hope your weekend was restful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow tall they look!
Lovely flowers.

ReplyDeleteHonestly, I don't even know the name of this flower. My friend, Jo ( aka Poetic Shutterbug ) and I looked for the name tag but it was missing. It was in an area isolated with just succulents or cacti so I'm not sure that it was either.

It's always nice to have you visit and I'm so happy you enjoy my postings.
Tes,
I wish I knew the name of these blooms. I've never seen them before and only at the Botanical Gardens! Yes, the little bee was a bonus.

Sad to say, there was no plaque identifying this flower and I haven't a clue to its identity!

I think these yellow flowers are beauties but I don't know what they are or what country from which they originate.

I wish I had a whole yard full of these anonymous blooms!

I may never learn the name of this incredibly beautiful yellow flower. Either the name plate had fallen off or it never had one. Unless someone can clear up they mystery, it will remain nameless.

No, I hae no link to Greensboro...other than that I'm originally from Columbus, GA and, in my youth, I drove through Greensboro several times. I've been in the San Francisco area nearly 33 years now.

I can't swear this flower is only on the West Coast. I've never seen it before anywhere else,
though...but I haven't seen it outside the Botanical Garden.

I think that flower is lovely. Nice weekend, Rosaria...a wedding and some jazz.
A bit of googling helped me identifying this flower. It is called "Yellow Torch Lily". You can find more information by following this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torch_lily
ReplyDeletewe have red orangy ones and we call them red hot poker.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! what a pretty flower, wonder whats the name of that.
ReplyDeleteWow ... love the feel of texture in those flowers. Beautifully captured.
