MK pix 
Lovely shots, but do you know what they are?

Well this is rather embarrassing. These are from today’s visit to the Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens. I visited the Library and photographed the placards next to the Gutenberg Bible and the Canterbury Tales, but I rarely do the same for plants.
But I just added 2 more photos to show the full flower. 😦

Thanks! They look vaguely familiar, but I’ll be damned if I can come up with a name. But the lighting you caught is phenomenal. That makes up for the missing placard! 😀

Yeah, what is it? Almost looks like magnolia to me.

For sure not magnolia. They’re potted plants at the Huntington Botanical Gardens, and I just added 2 more images of the full blossoms. But sorry, I didn’t take a shot of the placard identifying the plant.

Just beautiful! They look like those exotic desert plants that have amazing flowers. The Huntington Gardens have an enormous amount of those. Which reminds me, I have to go back there. 🙂

These shots were taken in the new & improved entry walk, before you get to the desert garden. Although, the desert garden is one of my favorite places for photography. So many birds & bugs & flowers. We will be jockeying for position!

Beautiful closeups, M! I love seeing the details – as they say, ‘god is in the details’ – such perfection exists in nature. They look like Protea species to me, btw. 😉

Now that you mention it, they do look like Protea. I wouldn’t know a Protea from a proton except for A used to bring home armloads of Protea when she did the wholesale flower report when we lived in San Francisco.
Yes, god is in the details.
