Seeing beautiful in the unusual

Seeing beautiful in the unusual

It’s the second Friday of the month, and that means it’s the See Beautiful blog hop.

I seem to have a knack for finding unusual plants. These flowers were quite common where we stayed last week, but I found one that was growing in a cool, and unusual way.  The plants are quite tall, 2 feet at least. But they have these little purple, white flowers that are almost exotic looking.

This plants flowers were growing in a circular pattern. All the others were just stacked straight up the stock.

I love these flowers. Don’t they look like they belong in some exotic jungle someplace?

I tried to do a search for these, but came up with nothing. If you know what they are. I would love to know.

I took this shot one evening while out walking. I don’t know why, but I love a solitary tree in a vast landscape.

There are only 3 days left in the sale too, so don’t miss out. Get all the details in this post from Monday.

  2. I sadly have no clue what flowers you fond … even google said I’ll pass … and I thought google really knows all LOL
    it’s great to see beautiful things together, like this tree on the hill :o)

  4. Good morning Mary! My goodness, the detail on these plants, and the perfect angle of light….and that lone tree is spectacular! We are still on holiday here in Carmel, and the fog is stubborn (but I love it) so it hasn’t been the best for photography. HOWEVER, once we drive just 5 minutes out to Monterery, it’s sunny! Before we leave here, I must get a photo of a sailboat….

    LOVELY SHARE! Anita

  5. Such beautiful pictures, Mary. I love it when people have an eye for the things others might find ugly or unusual. I love seeing beautiful in the odd or even mundane. It’s always there. Thank you for searching for it, and seeing it.

  10. Wow, those are amazing. I have no idea what that is, but you’re right – it looks like it should be growing somewhere exotic. Maybe Hawaii! :)

  12. The tree on the hill, my favorite! Thanks for the reminder about your sale, I got the green frame with yellow flowers, my favorite colors. And my bedroom is mostly green so hoping it looks nice in there. Sandra

  13. Hi Y’all! Sorry we can’t help with the flower, but so glad you showed it. That has to be one of the most beautiful flowers I\’ve ever seen. Y’all come on by,Hawk aka BrownDog

  16. They sure are amazing flowers, aren’t they? I think they’re beautiful just based on how they look. But knowing that they have to build up their reserves for 20-80 years before they can bloom makes them even more beautiful to me.

  19. Those flowers are gorgeous, and there is definitely something about a solitary tree in a landscape that speaks to me too!

  23. I had to go back and read this post I missed after reading about the Monumnet Plant. With our daughter here, I am not keeping up with my blog reading. But I needed to see your photos of this beauty. That circular flower pattern running up the stalk is so cool. Great photos of the details. Those little flowers remind me of orchids. Now I need to find one of these!
