Continuing with another one from my little known flower collection for Fx2 this week. Here is some info from Wikipedia: "Pentas lanceolata, commonly known as Egyptian Starcluster, is a species of flowering plant that is native to much of Africa as well as Yemen. It is known for its wide use as a garden plant where it often accompanies butterfly gardens." And to all those in the path of this weekend's big blizzard on the east coast please take care.

Kathy, I saw even in our local newspaper that a big blizzard is approaching the USA east coast. Please take care, my friend.

Thanks for this very fine image of another to me unknown foofy.
Love the proper lighting as it causes that all the attention will go to the flower of this Egyptian Starcluster.

This one needs a shave judging from all the whiskers, Kathy.
Great detail.

Wonderful closeup but the name sounds like a space ship from Star trek. :)

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
