Well, you won’t miss them this week. I took many, many photos, and have lined up about five blog posts out of them. Themed blog posts, no less!

Nice, although #1 isn’t a flower, it just has leaves which are rich in anthocyanin. I think its aeonium arboreum, certainly one of the crassulaceae family…

Thanks for that, Quintus Sertorius! I think the two botanists I went to the gardens with gave me the names of every single flower I passed (and some I didn’t), but I’ve subsequently forgotten them all . . .

I as fairly sure it wasn’t a flower, but it was flower shaped, and I told myself that that was sufficient for my less than rigorous categorising technique.
