Name the alien finger plant. Monochrome. My world

Pizza!

Monochrome

My World


Most of you know as this post is published I am on my way to Merry Old England overnight, then onto wonderful, wonderful France for a week. Hallelujah. Can't wait. In the meantime just leave you with a few simple images. Today I am killing two nemes with one stone, Monochrome Weekly,
My World. I'll obviously not be around to catch up with you, but I may just take a break from the French sunshine and find an internet cafe.


Following on from yesterday, another question for you. Can you name this plant. I know it's in black and white, which it not the best for identity purposes, but do your best. It was a creamy yellowish colour with sage greenish colours stems. It was also covered in a very peculiar red insect, which I will show you another time. It could of course just be an alien outstretched finger. Phone home anyone.

    Perfect lighting for this plant! Looks so bright and crisp in details! France is wonderful place - the best tasting breakfast I remember was in France!

    I hope you have a great trip. Beautiful shot. I am familiar with the plant but the name eludes me. If no one else knows, I'll look it up in one of my garden and landscaping books.

    A plant with monochrome presence - nice.

    It can't be something covered in frost, or I might venture a guess. It'll have to be the haven't-a-clue species.

    PS Thank you for the comment, and enjoy yourself.

    Enjoy,

    Nice shot! My first thought was it was branches with 'hoar frost' on it. Not sure what it is, but its a great shot!

    Hard to tell about the plant in B&W. Could be a heather.

    Have fun in France. Oh, to be so close...........

    It might be goat's beard. It is the right color.

    That's not the dreaded Japanese knotweed is it?

    I think 'Alien Finger Plant' is a very good name for it, if not 'Ideal Monochrome Plant' :)

    To be a upright lenient being is to from a amiable of openness to the world, an cleverness to group aleatory things beyond your own manage, that can front you to be shattered in uncommonly exceptionally circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something very outstanding about the condition of the principled compulsion: that it is based on a trustworthiness in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a spy than like a treasure, something kind of fragile, but whose extremely particular beauty is inseparable from that fragility.
