in #photography7 years ago

Spring was somewhat delayed this year. Going by the blooms I normally see, spring was delayed by about two weeks this year versus last year.

Love magnolias. Reminds me of the Masters golf tounament.
Maybe you can help me identify this flower i took yesterday.20180422_145721.jpg

It is really colorful and I have never seen anything like it.

This morning I searched through hundreds of Florida flowers. I think you photographed it in Florida. After looking through hundreds of photos I did not see anything like it.

Have a great day!
Steem on,

Yes. They grow all over south florida. I will find out the name and let you know

I would appreciate you letting me know.

You may want to show the picture to a local plant nursery in your area.

The weekend is almost here!
Have a great weekend!
