The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is foreign. A lot of plants in our garden came from across the world. This one, phygelius capensis is from South Africa

how beautiful, it looks like one of those plants that eat insects.
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend.
absolutely marvelous. it looks as if it's made out of sugar...
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's real!
ReplyDeleteFabulous.
Thanks! Calum it is a very real flower
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or is that a very sexy flower??
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique and beautiful flower. Great idea for the theme.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just Knatolee. This is a very sexy flower, indeed. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha a bit of plant porn eh?
ReplyDeleteIf you do not watch it with this plant porn you will get a warning on your site like poor Sonia.
ReplyDeleteCommonly known as Impala Lilies, and of course they aren't foreign here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty plant! Very interesting looking and looks foreign to me.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
It looks as if it is about to swallow me up. But definitely interesting.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you Jams
Love the textures :-) I think I am safe :-)
ReplyDeleteThat plant looks very exotic... and beautiful but scary! :O
ReplyDeleteWow, that is one awesome flower. Amazed you can grow something so tropical looking in the UK. Great photo of it too. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful flower. Looks very exotic to me. Great take on this theme!
ReplyDeleteYes it looks interesting but pretty. Happy hunting...Mine is up also.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous flower. I've never seen or heard of this.
ReplyDeleteI have been a foreign flower for many years.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to note a thistle down the road recently.
Have a nice non foreign weekend.
cool and odd ly fascinating very unique( I finished working my post after you visited:) Thanks
ReplyDeleteOooo! Gorgeous flower! Sadly, few blooms are allowed into our home - they have to fall into the not-poisonous-to-cats category.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bloom. And it is even foreign for me :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing flower, it looks like glass. Thanks for showing this amazing flower.
ReplyDeleteYou do have some marvellous plants in your garden.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely flower! :)
ReplyDeletehappy weekend!
Thanks everyone! Glad you like the phygelius
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower, and very clever take on this theme. Not all "foreign" plants are desirable. But this one is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteMy solution is conventional and simple.
Happy Weekend!

I just have to add my WOW! Very beautiful, lucky you to have this in your yard...
ReplyDeleteA yawning flower ! Beautiful, but really it made me yawn, lol !
ReplyDeleteI was already one week ahead with the theme !
Again this is one of those themes that can easily take so many directions. I'd have never thought of that. Beautiful and perfect for the theme.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog and I hope I see you again soon.
it sure looks like a pitcher plant..it's beautiful! have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat is very beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Beautiful! Great choice for the theme.
ReplyDeleteMy Photo Hunters is up. I hope you have some time to take a peek. Happy weekend!
That is a great shot of Phygelius. And perfect interpretation of this week's theme. It is a pretty foreign looking flower but great for adding color.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a flower quite like that before! It looks like a cross between an orchid and a pitcher plant!
ReplyDeleteMy photo hunt post:

Beautiful. It looks like candy.
ReplyDeleteThat thing looks scary.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully exotic. A gaping mouth! I wouldn't put my finger near it...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and mysterious!!
ReplyDeleteSniffie and the Florida Furkids
Gorgeous capture...eerie plant!
ReplyDeletewow...very pretty!
ReplyDeletehappy weekend! :)
Exotic and erotic
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting flower!
ReplyDeleteI played too :)
So beautiful! I've never seen that flower before.
ReplyDeleteThat's a real beauty. I have a streptocarpus that came from Africa to my uncle's home in Durham and from there to my mother in Ontario and then made its way to me. Life is strange.
ReplyDeleteNice take on the theme of foreign. We just came from a site where "foreign" plants were probably less welcome than those in your garden.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting and beautiful flower. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteJuicy!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flower!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's the most interesting flower I have seen in a long time!
