This isn’t just an example of a Friday flower, it’s a fabulously fantastical Friday flower from France. 🙂 I think my language nerd self is taking over: yesterday puns, today alliteration. (There’s even an “The-Artist-Formerly-Known-As” reference. What’s that all about??) Who knows what tomorrow might bring other than the weekend? Whatever it brings to you, I hope it’s wonder-filled!
If anyone knows what this flower is, please let me know in your comment. Thanks!
People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.

I love the smell of rain and growing things.

This, that and the other thing 
Love this Janet (image and alliteration). My green-fingered neighbour who’s visiting thinks the flower is a Blazingstar. Happy Weekend to you.
And thanks to your neighbor, Su. I looked it up and it certainly appears that’s what it is. Glad you enjoyed the photo and wordplay.
I’ll tell her! And I always enjoy the wordplay. The boy-child is good at puns and language jokes too, and I so admire that. It’s not a talent I have. 🙂
I love the smell too.
Ah, yes. Happy Friday.

Fascinating capture, Janet. Purple Rain reminds me of Prince who was a wonderful artist. Music has a high priority in my life 🙂
Glad you liked all of it, Drake.
I think I could really like your version of purple rain. 🙂
🙂 I thought you might, Judy. If there’s anything prettier than flowers, I think it could be flowers with raindrops on them.

It looks thistle y. is it teasel?Anyway it’s a teaser!
Su’s flower-savvy friend thinks it’s a Blazing Star and it looks to me as if that’s correct. Here’s a link: http://tinyurl.com/yagvvgh6. What do you think?

Funny punny post! Perhaps you are under the influence of the full moon!
Perhaps. And perhaps I’m just a word-maniac sometimes. 🙂

Love the purple drenched with droplets 🙂 No idea what flower it is, though it looks like you’ve got it figured out now. I don’t think I’ve seen a blazing star in the wild before.
I’ve never seen one at all until that day. They’re quite lovely! Happy Friday, Madison, and I hope the market goes well tomorrow.
janet
Thank you and Happy Friday to you too!
It’s going to be another hot one, but not 90 as it was yesterday, thank goodness!
Fabulously fantastical indeed! 🙂 Wishing you an equally fabulous weekend Janet.
Thanks very much, Madhu, and to you as well.
Fabulous, indeed! Gorgeous flower, Janet.
And covered in diamonds as well, Jane. 😉
The best! 😉
Blazing Star is a native prairie wild flower. Like all pretty flowers it is now bred by the nursery industry!! Should be pretty hardy in your part of the country.
This one is from France, Lenore. I’d love to see them around us.

Yay – if looks like you got an answer! It certainly is besutiful. Great post 🙂
Thanks very much, Dan. I appreciate that you always stop by and comment as well. Have a great weekend.
janet
Absolutely gorgeous Janet – LOVE alliteration!
I love words, Joanne, so it’s always fun. 🙂 Glad you thought so, too.
A strange looking flower. Happy Friday, nonetheless! And keep the puns and alliteration. I love ’em both!
I’m glad you like both, Emilio, as that side of me tends to pop out regularly.
janet
🙂 My favorite color! such a pretty flower.
Have a very HAPPY weekend 🙂
You, too, Claudia. 🙂
Nice pic.
Randy
Thanks, Randy. Have a great weekend.
janet
Pretty! You do word nerd well, Janet 🙂
Thanks much, Joey. I enjoy it, so I’m glad if those on the receiving end of it do, too.
GLORIOUS …. ❤️
Thanks, Issy.
janet
Beautiful!😊
Thanks very much, Nandita. Happy Sunday.
janet
Happy Sunday to you too.😊😊
Beautiful Janet!
Thanks very much, Nicole. 🙂
A stunner this is 🙂
Thanks very much, Hammad. 🙂 Good to hear from you.
janet
Why did I like it so much? It has got basically an alien form. Maybe too much Doctor Who….
Ha! I’m sure you know the new Dr. Who is a woman. 🙂
janet
Yes I am gonna watch it tonight while singing the theme song with my most annoying sound! And it was time for the Doctor to be a woman ! Not because I am a feminist ( every human being should be) because it was creating a hole in the storyline😂
🙂 Have fun.
I am in love with that color…
It’s beautiful, isn’t it? 🙂
janet
Very much so
