This plant certainly is much prettier than what the name is.
Lovely. Beautiful flowers and beautiful images.
very pretty.
A variety that is foreign to where I live, but it's certainly a beautiful blossom.
Que flor linda! Sua cor é exuberante!
Conkers to come in the fall.
have you ever played conkers?
How relaxing to take a (virtual) walk through your beautiful posts.
Wow...and wow. Love these!!!
are these horse chest nuts edible. Once I went with my sister, and we picked some chestnut (first time,) we LOl how lucky we were.
Then I peeled some, and gave her some, she joked I was trying to poison her. So we threw the whole lot out.
Very, very beautiful.
I just had to stop by and thank you for stopping by "our" blog and becoming a follower. I'm really glad I did take time to come by now - got to see all those pictures of the beautiful flowers. i love my flower garden - when planted but I have not had a chance to plant anything this year however I do have some great Day Lilies that surprised me since I fogot I had planted them - will have to get a pic of them.

Never seen them before and they are so pretty.
Lovely blooms, nicely taken.
Great macro. Is this a native plant found in the wild or something people have in their garden?
Darla
Amazing macro. A rare species of wildflower with lovely colors that you've captured so well.
