Abutilon megapotanicum
This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday edition of Wordless Wednesday is the flower of Abutilon megapotamicum, a native Brazilian which is a popular plant in subtropical gardens and a garden in Romford
jams, beautiful shot! Do you care to say how you got the shot? And if you used Adobe or any other software like it? I'm doing the blog for peace for WW. Come visit... Work of the Poet
It looks like I'm introducing the Thursday edition of WW!
That is a great photo; great flower. The little things (at my age, I'm still saying little things for little things I don't have the vocabulary for) coming down from the flower are so pretty.
