Description


Another unusual flower from Ann's wonderful garden. I called her last night to ask her what the name of this plant is - she usually has far more information than I ever need. She said, "Oh I don't know - I just call it lipstick!" So there you have it. ............... I made the image nice and big, so if you look at it in full view, you'll be able to see each photo in a larger format. (Sorry Harry!) .............. .............. Edit note: Thanks so much to rockstrider for identifying this flower! He has informed me that it is actually a member of the Alliaceae family, and is called "Brodiaea ida-maia." I verified the information, and am quite satisfied that he is 100% correct. Thanks, Carl!

What an unusual plant, especially to my floral challenged eyes! You may see lipstick in this photo, but to me, this is an excellent capture of what look like red cucumbers, or lemonade/raspberry popsicles. Really vivid and vibrant colors in this shot, T. And, I've stayed away from any inferences to the male genitalia at this point.

When I saw the title in the ebot I knew it would be this flower. Of course I have no idea what the actual name is. But it's still really pretty. Thanks for sharing.

I've never grown them but received a hanging basket of these guys many years ago called the Lipstick Plant- comes from faraway like Indonesia or Thailand. Love the rational thinking and humor of Goodoleboy- Beautiful shots!!

How strange. Now I want one! I've no idea what it is either. It's not a daffodil, so I've done my bit to narrow it down! Good macro shot. mark

Three beautiful shots! I think this is a Clivia nobilis (of the amaryllis family) but I could be wrong. Wonderful work!
