Walking through a car park and this beauty stopped me in my track and out came my trusty iPhone to capture her elegance. Isn’t she lovely?!
Update: thanks to botanist extraordinaire, Eliza Waters, I now know the “coral flower” is really Cockscomb Celosia. It does resemble a cock’s comb, doesn’t it. It’s amazing how nature mimics itself.
Thanks to Cee for hosting the Flower of the Day prompt.
Thank you for journeying along.

Yeah … that was my first thought. The same design in sea, in flower, in bird—isn’t nature/God artistic!!!!

I love the rich burgundy color– it’s a cockscomb celosia. They make nice dried flowers, too.

Eliza you’re my botanist extraordinaire. I think I’m going to hunt down flowers to keep having these “flower naming” posts with you. And then turn them into some kind o’ a flower-naming party 🎉 🌸 🎉 Thanks. You’re awesome 👏🏾 🙏🏽👏🏾
