Flowers in May

Flowers growing around my garden in Co. Mayo on a sunny day in May…

Anthurium Andreanum

May24

This plant is a cultivated hybrid of an Anthurium andreanum and belongs to the family of the Araceae. The flowers are tiny on the yellow stem.

Anthurium is a large species, belonging to the arum family (Araceae). Anthurium can also be called “Flamingo Flower” or “Boy Flower”, both referring to the structure of the spathe and spadix.

Anthurium flowers are small and develop crowded in a spike on a fleshy axis, called a spadix, a characteristic of the Araceae. The flowers on the spadix are often divided sexually with a sterile band separating male from female flowers. This spadix can take on many forms (club-shaped, tapered, spiraled, and globe-shaped) and colors (white, green, purple, red, pink, or a combination).

Dandelions

May9

: Dandelions – black and white

Dandelions – The dandelion is a perennial, herbaceous plant with long, lance-shaped leaves. They’re so deeply toothed, they gave the plant its name in Old French: Dent-de-lion means lion’s tooth in Old French.

They grow individually on hollow flower stalks 2 to 18″ tall. Each yellow flower head consists of hundreds of tiny ray flowers. Unlike other composites, there are no disk flowers.

The flower head can change into the familiar, white, globular seed head overnight. Each seed has a tiny parachute, to spread far and wide in the wind. The thick, brittle, beige, branching taproot grows up to 10″ long. All parts of this plant exude a white milky sap when broken.

Orange Flower

Apr3

: orange daisy black and white

Nice bright orange flower to brighten up this Tuesday afternoon – I would call it an orange daisy, but there is probably a proper name for it…

Green

Apr2

Green flower bud/centre. I’m not sure if this is a flower of it’s own but I really love the texture and the shades of lime green and into slight shades of yellow…

Pink Flower

Mar25

Pink Flower – with hints of white and yellow through the beautiful petals. I thought this flower was very pretty and warn, nearly like a pink daisy but on a larger scale. Not quite sure what this flower is called – apologies!
