Photo Hunt #16: Ruin(ed)
I saw this plant/flowers in a local nursery. RUINED I thought they were by some genetic aberration, after all all these flowers are from the same plant.
Have you seen this plant? Know this flower? Is this an aberration? Or do they really grow like this with mixed blooms. It remains a mystery to me.
WOW! And you captured it beautifully!~
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots but I can't answer your question. Good take on the theme.
ReplyDeleteHmm... some generic problems I guessed but no matter how handicapped those flowers are, they are still beautiful :)

I like your ruined mystery! Great macros too.
ReplyDeleteSometimes plants and flowers grow in this special way; it is called "cristate". You often fiend cactus as cristate. "Digitalis" in my garden is flowering this way every year.
ReplyDeleteThere is something written in the german "wikipedia" about this anomaly.
Very interesting! I don't know the answer to the mystery either but your photos are wonderful. Happy weekend!

wow! that flower is very amazing. :) nice pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat's a sunflower right? Love the vivid sunny color! I haven't see any sunflower with that sort of "defect" though.
ReplyDeleteHappy hunting!
I don't know what they are - maybe a genetic mix of two somethings? Great shots, though.
ReplyDeleteNever seen anything like that before -- amazing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful... didn't know they had so much difference among the same kind of flower !
ReplyDeleteI guess the one bloom just wanted to be different
ReplyDeletePretty sunflower...Good choice for the theme...Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteVery strange "ruin" indeed. I doubt it is intentional. It's as if it suffered some trauma while the flowers were developing. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a clue about this flower, but it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely. How interesting that something beautiful can be ruined. Great choice for The Hunt.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, they look like squashed sunflowers? :)
ReplyDeleteThey look very peculiar. Lovely photos though.
ReplyDeletePeculiar.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blossom but I have no comment on the strange differences.
ReplyDeleteruined yet still a beauty.....happy weekend!
