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.
Painters understand nature and love it, and it teaches us to see. ~Vincent van Gogh
My choice for L is the Lily of the Valley, one of my favorite flowers.

Nice job. I was looking for Kalanchoe but couldn't find it. I found purely by accident. I also love Lily of the valley
ReplyDeleteI was honestly surprised that I didn't have any Kalanchoe photos since I can remember so many times at a conservatory or garden center when I've asked my husband about a plant and the answer was Kalanchoe. LOL Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteNicely done on having pics for all three letters, Kym! That star jasmine bush must smell amazing! I also looked at succulents and trees with K, and found some, but no pics!
ReplyDeleteLike I said, the K one was purely luck! Hopefully my luck will hold out for upcoming letters! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteYou did great; K would have stumped me too but you photos is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I'm happy to have found something for each letter so far!
DeleteThis was fun... especially for me, the flower lady. ;-) That is what I am known as in our neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful nickname! I love flowers and plants, but have almost no interest in gardening - just enjoying the beauty. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteThanks for sharing!
