Guess what this plant is?
I'm just wondering whether anyone here can guess what this plant is by
just looking at its flower? http://i27.tinypic.com/drfbkm.jpg Cat(h) |

So I just wondered if, shown just the flower, people with greater expertise than I (and there are quite a few of those here!!) would be able to recognise the plant :-) No, it's not a water lettuce either.

I can't claim any credit. Cat(h) |

Cat(h) But is it a water plant? ;-) Kind of. I don't want to help the experts too much - that would be no fun. It's faintly familiar but I think that's wishful thinking on my part. Cat(h) |

No. In that case, it's Venus Fly trap I'm all disappointed now... I thought this might run for a while :-( Anyway, what a pretty flower for such an ungainly plant! Our Fred-Phrod (from Aphrodite, or Venus)could use a few beasties, and there are no insects flying around the house at the moment. We may need to go hunting on Fred's behalf. Cat(h) |

Cat(h) ok now I am completely lost. The flower buds and sepals are very familiar. If it had 6 petals, I would guess some kind of lily or onion but only having 5, usually makes it a dictot. All of the guesses I can make are buttercup relatives (Rannunculs, Anemone, Clematis, water lily). Ok, I give in. Des |
