Repeat after me... DP168-2013 Posted June 17; processed ditto I chose this shot for its repeat pattern and limited color palette. It wasn't well focused and was shot in flat light, so I added a couple of filters to give it a little more visual interest. Bear's Breeches, aka Oyster Plant, Acanthus mollis Family Acanthaceae . . . Native to the Mediterranean...A tender perennial, hardy outdoors only in the warmer climate or growing zones in the USA, but potentially invasive where it is hardy. Acanthus flowers typically have thorns on their sepals (that's what 'acanthus' means), so beware when handling. Conservatory at Matthaei Botanical Gardens, Ann Arbor, Michigan June 13, 2013 Thanks so much to all of you who left comments for yesterday's shot of a cemetery angel even when I wasn't able to comment myself. Each one was heartily appreciated.
Desert rose or Impala lily. DP164-2013 Posted June 13; processed ditto Adenium obesum . . . Family Apocynaceae (dogbane family) . . . Native to Africa and Arabia . Arid House of the Conservatory at Matthaei Botanical Gardens, Ann Arbor, Michigan June 6, 2013 (D156) Humble thanks for all the support I've received for my recent posts. Yesterday's shot of columbines was a personal favorite, so I'm especially glad so many of you liked it as well. I've learned over the years that pictures that are my own favorites aren't always the most popular with others. I start each new day in the DailyPhotos community with zero expectations, and just take what the day brings!

Shadows on a dying agave. DP158-2013 Posted May 7; processed ditto This agave, a century plant, is in a slow decline because it bloomed last winter.

Pitcher Plant bloom spike. DP134-2013 Posted May 14; processed May 13. Carnivorous Plant Room, Conservatory at Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park Grand Rapids, Michigan May 13, 2013 (This shows a portion of a very tall (5-6 ft) bloom spike of one of the many kinds of tropical pitcher plants in the collection of carnivorous plants against a background of a painted wall. While the pitchers, which trap and digest insects, are visually the most interesting feature for most people, I find the flowers of such plants to have great appeal, as well. The flower colors, shapes, arrangements, etc. vary greatly across species, while the general shape of the pitchers varies much less.)

Hidden Lake Gardens, Lenawee County, Michigan May 3, 2013 Thanks for all the comments on the weird white fungus, and especially to those who offered possible ID's. I'll let viewers decide whether they think any of them is correct. I don't feel sufficiently knowledgeable to do so.
