Description

Nikon 7900 image. This is the second year that I have seen these blooms on my property. After first discovering them last year, I made a point to put some wire cages around them so I would not accidently mow them down. They are a host plant for Gulf Frittilary butterflies but I have not seen any yet this year. They put out Huge seed pods, as big as a very large chicken egg. Thanks to those who take the time to comment. Lee

I agree with eborg1 ... It does look rather alien. You were quite correct in protecting this unique flower. Beautiful presentation.

Wow that is an amazing looking flower! It does look rather alien. Great picture and presentation. Oh, and that bug looks like he is sliding down the petal!

Heehee! Everyone says it looks alien, but it's really the other way 'round! I'm sure this fantastic blossom was the inspiration for many sci-fi images. This is a fabulous shot - the POV is very cool. Glad you fenced it off!
