I'm a Photographer and not a Botanist

I'm a photographer and not a botanist!

I love shapes, the colors and the light in this beautiful flower, but I don't know the name for it.

I'm sure, out there in this world of bloggers is one, or more experts who can tell me the correct name for this colorful plant, yes? I'm looking forward for your answers and comments. Thank you in advance.

growin' tips...
Lilium (Lily)

Plant bulbs in full sun and well-drained soil. Mulch or plant to keep roots shaded and cool. Fertilize Lilies after shoots begin to emerge. Use any organic fertilize follow the directions on the container. Stake tall varieties. Remove spent flowers but leave entire stem standing until it turns brown in fall. If you cut blooms for arrangements, take no more than one third of the stem; cutting more will reduce the ability of the plant to store energy for next year's blooms.

To grow Lilies in containers, choose a 12"+ in diameter. Add a 2-3" layer of potting mix to the pot, set the bulbs in place, cover with mix, and water thoroughly. The tops of the bulbs should be planted at least 4" deep. A 12" pot will hold 3 bulbs.
Note, Lilies, especially those grown in the ground, often take another year after planting to achieve their full height.

Red Beauty


I'm not good in orchid names - I just love them all.

For me is the orchid the beauty queen of all the flowers.

Frangipani Flowers

These are the most beautiful flowers on a tree I have seen down here.
The Frangipani flowers are also blooming in yellow and in white colors - and they smell sooooo good!

Tropical Flowers

Tropical flowers are the most beautiful flowers I ever have seen. I'm totally in love with these creatures and never can get enough of them to photograph. If I would have a bigger yard I would turn it into a tropical rain forest with all the plants, trees and flowers what are growing here.

My Orchid Pot

I just LOVE orchids!

I got this pot from my daughter as a goodbye gift on her last vacation day here in Key West - and since then the orchids remind me of her every day.
