July 2021 - long and spindly

Post by Darren S »

Thought I would choose something challenging to get a representative picture of: plants that are long and spindly - for example Echinocereus poselgeri, Pelargonium tetragonum etc...

Hi Darren
This is long and spindely, definitely awkward to photograph. The flower has gone over :roll:
Maybe I'll catch the next one :smile:

If this counts,
Tylecodon grandiflora
Very awkward plant, but beautiful flower.

I lost my black velvet jacket about 30 years ago. It'll have to be socks if I get my USB ports working again before the end of the month.
