Flowers and flowers

I just want to share with the readers some of the flower pics I took during my recent hiatus. Some of them are quite common and some of them are wild flowers. However I don’t know their names.

I simply love this one. It is quite common and can be found growing by the road side.

DSCN4102

This is quite rare. It is a wild plant and I believe it is parasitic although please correct me if I am wrong.

DSCN4101

This flower made quite a splash of color.

This is not as common as you think. It is a wild flower.

DSCN4035

This is the flower of a type of carpet grass.

I love this one.

Bourgainvillea is a perennial flowering plant. This bunch of flowers surprisingly were growing on another tree. By nature, the bourgainvillea is a not a parasitic plant but plants do what they can to survive.

hibiscus

The humble hibiscus. I don’t appreciate this as it is so common. But since I already have the pic, I put it in too :)

    The 4th picture with white flowers…I think they’re not wild. Indian people use this flower for their daily prayer. I hope I’m correct.

    i know the flower u r referring to . It is a plant with thorns. I used to have a pair growing in my garden. I think this looks a little similar but is totally different. ;)

    Beautiful flowers. Which one of them you gave to Mrs Bengbeng?

    Ahhh …ahh..i think MrsBB would prefer banknotes :)

    The first pic is a spider lily. I read in a herb book that it is a type of medicinal herb.

    That’s cool. Thanks for the info :)

    Beautiful BengBeng! Me love them a lot :-) My parents are the plants expert, between the two of them, they could probably name all these plants and how to plant them properly!

    I saw bunches of the third from last flowers at the Times Square playground and I took a macro shot of it too - gorgeous aren’t they?

    More! More! Please look out for purple wildflowers.

    i will :)

    This is spider lily.

    This is Bird of Paradise.

    And I think this is a species of wild chrysanthemum.

    Thanks! You know so much. You love gardening too? :)

  11. pelf on 12 September, 2007

    Dang, my pictures didn’t appear. Anyway..

    #1 is spider lily, like Choonie said.
    #3 is Bird of Paradise, which is also very common.
    #5 is probably wild chrysanthemum, there are quite a few species of it.

    wow, u know a lot . i love flowers but i know nuts about them :)

  12. pelf on 17 September, 2007

    No, I don’t know a lot, and I don’t like gardening =) But like every other person who has just acquired a new camera, I played with the macro mode of the camera and took many flowers, and uploaded them onto Flickr and asked people about it. There are actually many Flickr groups that help photographers identity their flowers. Those are botany experts =)

    nobody really reads botany books…they love pics though :)
