Flower Hour - Luck and the Floral Alphabet

My entry for this week's edition of the Floral Alphabet challenge is largely about luck! I knew I had a photo for J and was pretty confident about L but had no idea what I'd do about K. First, there aren't a whole lot of flowers or plants that start with K; and of those, the chances of me having or being able to take a photo of any of them were not good. Well, I found one! Carry on to see!

Star Jasmine

This variety of jasmine is commonly grown as an ornamental plant or houseplant. I love the scent!

Kiwi Aeonium

I was totally prepared to give up on a plant or flower with the letter K, because the only one I thought I might have a photo of was Kalanchoe and my search was unsuccessful. Then Google Lens confidently told me the succulents in the lower half of this photo are Kiwi Aeonium so I went with it. Aeonium or Pinwheel is a species of succulent native to northern Africa and grown as houseplants. One of the cultivars is known as Kiwi. So it was a lucky thing that I had this photo from our visit to the Vincent van Gogh exhibit at the Phipps Conservatory several years ago.

My choice for L is the Lily of the Valley, one of my favorite flowers.
