Description

Special -Flowers 3 These are real flowers and a part of a bunch of flowers which was approximately 2 feet tall!!!!!. They look like made from plastic but they are growing and flowering in a pot in one of the greenhouses in the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden!! There was a name tag, however, checking at home on the Internet, it appeared that the name tag was completely wrong!!!!!!!!! With other words, I have no idea what kind of plant, flower this is!! At least it is not orange colored â�� LOLâ�� see my yesterdays upload!! This photo has been taken (April 2008) in the historical Hortus-Botanicus in Leiden (founded in 1594), in The Netherlands. Thanks for your time, Have a very nice week Henk

This is enchanting and I hope someone identifies it! Such an unusual color and the shape of the flowers is graceful. A fabulous capture, Henk.

They look like parrot beaks when they are open. Beautiful colors and unusual flower.

Fascinating Henk. If you were not such an honorable member of this community, I would have said that this is plastic. I have never seen anything like this. Truly amazing!!!!! Lekker aand vir jou. Groete, Carin :)

In my prints of old film shot I have this plant, photographed at Kew gardens before I went digi. (I did label it, so one day, if no one has named it by then I may look it out.) Your pic is absolutely perfect, Henk! The colours are shown to perfection, as I remember my print was a bit washed out. Why not email Leiden with a pic and ask them?
