#abutilon pictum

[photoblogdujour]

Abutilon pictum, lovely flowers, but they blow in the wind so they're hard to photograph. Getting them to sit still requires tiresome negotiations with the west wind to stop blowing long enough for the flowers to hold steady. By then the light has changed, and you've got to rejigger your camera settings, and the west wind kicks back up, and the cycle repeats.

A Trip to the Botanical Gardens: Part 5

Ok, I finally have enough brainpower to work on this post! This next entry is about my trip into both conservatories at the botanical gardens!

In this picture, towards the bottom, or the orange hanging blossoms of Antirrhinum majus, or the Solstice(TM) Orange Tricolor Snapdragon! These blossoms are a pinkish shade of orange and yellow, like a bright sunrise... or maybe sherbet.... Mmm, delicious. Abode, to the upper left of these blossoms is a single yellow flower, of which I do not know its name.

This picture is of several Anthurium or "Flamingo Flower". It's a plant from the arum family. I guess you could say that it looks like a.... deep wine-red peace lily? There's one Solstice Snapdragon bloom peeking out underneath the Flamingo Flower... I did say these were "everywhere" in here, didn't I? lol

This picture is of several stalks with clusters of beautiful purple flowers! Think like hyacinths, except a deeper, royal purple color, with long trumpet-shaped blooms. This plant is called Salvia splendens, or Scarlet Sage. They're normally red, but this variety is "Lighthouse Purple" Behind all these purple flowers are more of those Solstice snapdragons!

And... what are theeese?? Another bunch of purple flowers?! That ARE NOT VIOLETS? These are tiny light pinkish purple flowers with 5 petals and yellow centers. They are Primula malacoides, or "Fairy Primrose". There's many of these tiny flowers in this photo, though it's hard to really determine their size just from the photo.

Sitting in a pot in this photo is the majestic curved form of an orchid! It curves outwards and towards the right side of the frame. This deep reddish-purple group of about 7 or 8 flowers is labeled Cybidium orchid, "Girl Crazy" x "Regal Ruby" hybrid.

This pot is another orchid! Tall slender green leaves poke out from the top of the pot, while three long stems heavy with many tiny yellow orchid flowers spill out, framing a pot of pansies on the ground. This is Cybidium Fifi, called "Harry", according to its sign. No, I don't know why, either. (You can see a small orange tree in the background, to the right! The fruits are at varying stages of development, and they are very tiny. The fruits are not for eating.)

In this picture, is a tall plant with speckled-yellow-and-green leaves and pale orange bell-shaped flowers. It's called Abutilon pictum or Flowering Maple. This is the "Thompsonii" cultivar.

In this picture is a strange, tall plant with large slender green leaves and red flowers that looked like flaming red cups, with a dark purple part growing from within them! This plant is called Pavonia multiflora, or the "Brazilian Candle Plant". I suppose the flowers do look like flames, don't they?

Here's a close-up of those flowers! They are long, slender reddish-purple petal-like things with points at the end, that grow upwards in a shape like a cup, or are reminiscent of a flame. There's a dark purple growth in the middle that opens up to a soft reddish inflorescence with absolutely tiny light grape-purple flowers! I struggled to take a good picture of these.

And in this picture are.... More of those Solstice snapdragons! The yellow trumpet-shaped blooms I don't know the name of! And lots, and lots, and lots of tiny clusters of pale lavender blooms! Are they some kind of violet? I do not know...

It's a plant that's nothing but leaves! Ornamental leaves! Large emerald-green leaves patterned with bright orange and yellow veins and edges. This is Codiaeum variegatum, var. pictum... Or "Croton".

In this picture, at first glance, it's a bunch of leaves on a short plant, but upon closer inspection, you can see tall spikes with long slim tube-like purple flowers that grow outwards. This plant is Plectranthus neochilus, or a Lobster Plant. This one is called "Mike's Fuzzy Wuzzy". Make of that what you will.

Whew! That's it for Part 5! I'll add more pictures in my next post, whenever I manage to put that one up. I have a few more pictures from the conservatory to share, which I've missed in this pose, so consider the next post to be like... 5.5 or something. lol

See my previous post here, in Part 4!
