Guest Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 So I'm going to post daily (at least will try to) a picture of a flower/flowers that I come across when I step out for any random reason. If you too have come across any and have decided to capture it on your phone/camera do post it down here. PS: I am an amateur, enthusiastic alien who captures pictures on her not so fancy phone. So please don't expect pro photography here Here goes my first post for today! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daveb Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 3 day weekends are good. (says the retired guy) I did an image search on that red flower - looks like it's called "sensitive plant" or "humble plant", of the genus "Mimosa". 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeChat Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Nice pics! I'm not a botanist, but I, also, tried a web search, with your photo. Apparently, it has nicknames, like "fairy duster" and "powder puff plant." Calliandra - Wikipedia 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I want 3 day weekend too! i have a few decades to go before i retire, sigh.... 😥 ****** Thank you for looking it up for me. the sensitive plant or sometimes called 'touch me not' plant's flowers are different, i guess I'll click those soon if i come across them not sure if they exist in my neighborhood. As @LeChat mentioned and i cross verified these are Calliandra. But @davebthank you for your enthusiasm on my random flower clicks 😁 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harmonic turquoise Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 This year, the cherry blossoms bloomed earlier than usual, but they were scattered by the rain. Wisteria flowers are also in bloom. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Nokia which you have not only serves as a phone but as self defense tool.. throw it at someone and the person might end up at the hospital but the phone shall remain intact! 😋 not that I'm suggesting you try it. Jokes apart Yeah i wish i could permanently switch to a basic model, especially flip phones! One day.... maybe 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
