Recent Finds in Selby Gardens 6
January 7, 2017
On New Year’s Eve day I photographed the pendant inflorescence (husband speak for “hanging-down flower”) of a bromeliad that belongs to the genus Vriesea, shown in the lefthand part of this diptych. When I turned around to continue walking in the Selby Garden’s conservatory, I almost ran into its very, very distant relative shown in the righthand part of the diptych.
Romancing Reality 
Wonderful! You have warmed our six degree day. Thank you.

You’re welcome, Patricia. Funny thing is, David told me tonight after seeing the photos that he saw the similarity at the time, too! Now I wonder if the workers did that on purpose. That would be even funnier.

Brilliant comparison, Linda. A photographic simile that produces a smile.

Too funny – and a great coincidence – I just posted a photo of the same flower, growing in a conservatory up here. I was kicking myself for not getting the name of it. Thank your significant other for me, please!

That is a coincidence! I did thank him; he was amused. (Did you get the relative, too?)
