The unusual long flower spikes of Ligularia przewalskiae are coming out now in the garden down near the stream. Like a lot of flowers its named after a Russian general, who like many Russian officers back in Tsarist times doubled as an explorer.

looks attractive and unusual - it growing up from that toothy palmate leaf at the bottom right of pic?

Yes the foliage is worth having on its own.
Wow, pretty neat. We have a native blackberry that also grows in long vines. The vines are prickly and very skinny. Strange, but the hotter and drier it is the more the plants grow.

The flowers look a lot like my John Clayton honeysuckle flowers.

May post some soon.
@Fernapple I almost end up doing studies with flowers like that, from wide all the way down to individual flowers and the tiny bugs that inhabit them. I seldom share the full studies since it takes up so much time and space, another reason that I have over 30,000 pictures on my hard drive.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
