As usual, I don’t know the name of this flower and despite the excellent signage at South Bay Botanic Garden, I didn’t see one for this flower. I’m sure one of you can tell me what it is, right? 🙂 Feel free to jump in with a name. But the light is as much the star of the show, making the two together more than the sum of their parts.

This, that and the other thing 
Beautiful 🙂
It was, Brian.
NO Idea, but it is pretty 🙂
It’s been identified as the flower of the silk floss tree, which was an interesting tree.
I agree. Was just going to say the same. The are fairly common here in my part of Mexico.
I’d not heard of them before this visit. Thanks, Judy.
I love learning new flower names.
Me too if I can just remember them. 😉
I couldn’t say what it is for sure. A lily of some kind? Or an orchid?
Turns out it’s the flower of the silk floss tree and just fell there. I guess that explains the lack of signage! 😂😂😂
The light is pretty on it. Try your flower ID app that might be the best bet for ID’ing it.
Cee commented that it’s the flower of the silk floss tree, of which there were many. Now I know why no sign! 😁
Ah ha! 😀
The light is really nice!
It was.
So beautiful!
Turns out it’s a fallen blossom from a silk floss tree. Who knew? (Cee did.)
Glad we know now! ☺️
It is a silk floss tree flower. 😀 😀
Thanks, Cee. There were a lot of those there and it’s the first time I’ve ever heard of or seen those trees.
Nice finding, Janet!
Thank, Amy. Evidently it just dropped down from a nearby tree. 🙂 Just for me.
Cue the opera music!
😁
That’s some pistil! A truly interesting flower! Nice capture, Janet.
Evidently it’s a fallen flower/blossom from a tree but it certainly looked at home there.
From a tree, interesting!
It’s an interesting tree. In fact there were several interesting trees there as you’ll see at some point. 🙂
