DONOTREPLY writes Flowers Photo Gallery: http://y23stockpic.free.fr/200612-flowers/ please !! help with botanical names!! The "pink flowering tree" looks like a Rhododendron, and before that are 5 poppies (Papaver species, perhaps varieties of Papaver rhoeas). -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

ups.com... Flowers Photo Gallery: http://y23stockpic.free.fr/200612-flowers/ please !! help with botanical names!! First one, "red flowers", try _Ixora_ [Rubiaceae]. http://images.google.com/images?q=ixora Second flower photo, "red orchids", isn't an orchid at all but is a Columnea species [Gesneriaceae] http://images.google.com/images?q=columnea The third one "red fruiting flowers" is of a bromeliad, probably an _Aechmea_ species. http://images.google.com/images?q=aechmea The fourth, "green and red" is likely _Acalypha hispida_ [Euphorbiaceae] http://images.google.com/images?q=acalypha The fifth, "orchids" isn't an orchid, but an amaryllis _Hippeastrum_ http://images.google.com/images?q=hippeastrum The next two "orchid colours" and "orchid flower pink white" are indeed orchids, and look to be different _Phalaenopsis_ varieties http://images.google.com/images?q=Phalaenopsis The next five are poppies of some different cultivars. http://images.google.com/images?q=Papaver The "wild rose" is likely a rose [_Rosa_], but clearly isn't a wild form. Wild roses aren't double flowered. That is, it would have only five petals and lots of stamens instead of being a cabbage-like structure of many extra petals. http://images.google.com/images?q=Rosa I'm not sure what the pink-flowering tree in the next one is. Nice pic of the Kauri, a minor quibble is that it should be "_Agathis robusta_"; the genus is capitalized, the species isn't. Hope this helps. Thanks for posting the link to your nice photos. cheers |

I like Mel Turner's use of Google Image links to assist with the identification (even if I disagree with some of his ID's), so I'll borrow it. *** "Closeup red fruiting flowers" (n20060927_183201): I'm starting with my weakest ID, but trust me, I'll get better. This doesn't look like a bromeliad to me, but rather something in the heath family (Ericaceae). It's hard to tell, though -- are there Ericaceous flowers with no sepals? Try these images for comparison: http://sagehen.ucnrs.org/Photos/misc...20(Heath).html http://www.nybg.org/bsci/online_pubs.html http://wisplants.uwsp.edu/scripts/de...?SpCode=ANDGLA *** "orchid flower pink white" (n20060927_183318): Yes, an orchid. Genus: Phalaenopsis. http://images.google.com/images?q=Phalaenopsis *** "Orchids" (n20060927_183256) All of my Hippeastrums have red flowers, but I think that Mel got this one right. Orchids don't have stamens like that. Hippeastrum is in the lily family (Liliaceae). *** "Flower Orange water droplets" (n20060927_183420, and the four photos that follow): I am certain that this is not the genus Eschscholzia (California poppies), as suggested by La Puce. But, these are definitely in the family Papaveraceae. Iceland poppies (Papaver nudicaule) are very popular garden plants. http://images.google.com/images?q=Iceland+poppies *** "Wild Rose pink" (n20060927_183806): More likely a Ranunculus than a rose. http://images.google.com/images?q=Ranunculus +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | Ladasky Home Solar, Inc.: blowing sunshine up your | | power grid since March 24, 2005.

The message from "La Puce" contains these words: On 14 Apr, 08:34, "DONOTREPLY" wrote: Flowers Photo Gallery:http://y23stockpic.free.fr/200612-flowers/ please !! help with botanical names!! Eschscholzia for the orange flowers, californian poppies, Surely not? Eschscholtzia have a long seed capsule, and on these you can see the typical seed capsule shape of Papaver (poppy), as Stewart said. And the texture of the petals is wrong - more delicate than Eschscholtzia. and perhaps a camelia for the pink tree, theaceae. I don't think it's a Camelia. It's the right shape for a rhododendron, but I'm seeing palmate leaves at the bottom, unless they're leaves from the tree/shrub behind the 'pink flowering' shrub. Right bark for a rhodo. And flower density. -- Kay |

Looking a bit further, I think it's identifiable as _A. fulgens_, or at least it's the species I was thinking of: http://www.nybromeliadsociety.org/Ga...20discolor.jpg http://olivier.paris2.free.fr/divers...9-Aechmea.html http://biotech.tipo.gov.tw/plantjpg/...0variegata.jpg http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/boga/h...iscolor.ja.jpg cheers |

writes Surely not? Eschscholtzia have a long seed capsule, and on these you can see the typical seed capsule shape of Papaver (poppy), I agree Kay that's what I would have gone with. Thought at first it might have been Romneyi but guess not. I don't think it's a Camelia. It's the right shape for a rhododendron, but I'm seeing palmate leaves at the bottom, unless they're leaves from the tree/shrub behind the 'pink flowering' shrub. Right bark for a rhodo. And flower density. It's nothing like a camellia, far too many flowers and too tall really, also leaves look wrong. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

I have Eschscholzia californica - isn't that californian poppies? I don't think it's a Camelia. It's the right shape for a rhododendron, but I'm seeing palmate leaves at the bottom, unless they're leaves from the tree/shrub behind the 'pink flowering' shrub. Right bark for a rhodo. And flower density. I can't see the leaves - I've tried to go closer but the pixels don't allow me to see the details. It is the wrong shape for a camelia - you're right. It's a rhodo. |
