ORIGAMI FLOWERS

This post is linked to  RUBY TUESDAY.  Check it out!! 

033-2 

We don't  know what this wildflower is, but on the morning we took this picture it looked rather as if somebody carefully folded it into pleats.  (It was growing at one of the nature areas where we walk sometimes.)  

029 This plant too looks a little bit like a paper heart cutout.  (I probably should have saved it for Valentine's Day). 

It is growing near our neighbor's yard and she says it is a wild bleeding-heart.  It does look a bit like the pink heart-shaped plant we used to grow when we lived in Oregon. 

But back then, we'd have been sweating as we weeded the wild grass from around it.  Now I'm not at all sure that it would have been any more beautiful for all that work!  

Still gardening the RV Way — just admiring the beauty, not doing much work!

We appreciate all visitors and commenters! Thank you.

  1. What lovely delicate flowers!

  2. The ‘pleated’ petals are very interesting – pretty color. I like the way you garden.

  3. The top one looks like a hibiscus and the bottom one is a species of bleeding hearts. That’s my final answer and I’m sticking to it.
    My Ruby Tuesday is “Skipping Rocks” – a sculpture. Come by to view if you have time today.

  4. Vivid color in the ‘pleated bloom’ – quite lovely!
    I don’t think the other is a wild bleeding heart. The appearance of the wild and Asian ones are fairly similiar in appearance. Whatever they are I’d love to have some. 🙂

  5. Hello Sallie. Very nice to meet you today. Yes, I’ve been on a countdown for retiring now for five years and can’t wait to see what life has to hold. I just change my blog name from In My Dreams to The Best of My Life yesterday.
    Your flower are absolutely glorious. Much as I life the first, it is the wild bleeding heart that takes my breath away. Stunning.

  6. Beautiful flowers.

  7. Pretty amazing!
    Great captures Sallie.

  8. nature is still the best artist 🙂
    I love the texture of the top flower

  9. I also think the red flower looks like it is in the hibiscus family. The other beauty I have never seen before, its gorgeous, Salli.

  10. Beautiful flowers, I love the white ones and the red one looks similar to my hibiscus.

  11. Lovely flowers. My post is a domestic bleeding heart in my backyard.

  12. Beautiful flowers and my favourite is the last one. Great shots.
    Happy Ruby Tuesday

  13. Hi Sallie, This flower is beautiful and how unusual. I will have to check with my Florida neighbor to see if she knows what it is. Also, I will try and put together a cheat sheet on how I created my photo collage. Do you have an email address? Mine is friendje@ptd.net. Let me know. Jude

  14. i love love love
    bleeding hearts!

  15. Just beautiful, and that close up is fantastic

  16. You are sharing the most interesting things. I love people like you whose eyes (and cameras) see all sorts of new and different things. I’m so glad your RV garden is growing so well.

  17. Looks like the petals of a wilted hibiscus, about all I can identify, and the leaves aren’t right for that. I’m awe struck by the botanists who can name them all.

  18. So pretty. I love flowers.
    Happy Tuesday.

  19. Isn’t Mother Nature amazing?!

  20. Those flowers are beautiful!! The white flower shape like a heart, awesome!
