Thursday Challenge: simple
This photo has a simple subject, but the complication is that I don’t know what the plant is. First I thought comfrey, but I looked it up, and no. Then I thought Lambs’ Ears, but I looked THAT up, and it doesn’t grow in rosettes like this one. So, I don’t know. If anyone can enlighten me, I’d be grateful. It’s growing in a neighbor’s yard near my home in Seattle, Washington. [It appears to be Mullein. Thank you, Ms. Toastburner!]
For more ruminations on the theme of Simplicity, visit Thursday Challenge. And because I’m pretty sure it’s an herb, and that qualifies for Thinking Green, visit them for more ideas about being green.
Whatever it is, you caught the luscious green coloration and texture wonderfully.
No idea what that is but it sure is lovely 🙂
I don’t know the name of the green plant but I think it is a beautiful picture. Green plants and herbs are good for us and for the environment.
A beautiful plant and a beautiful photo. Sorry I can’t identify it.
Sara, I think it’s a plant called mullein. I think.
I believe that you’ve caught it in its baby form and as it grows it spikes up, flowers and loses that compact rosette form.
Great photo!
what a plant of beauty
Wow, I think you are right. The mullein plants in Google Images do look very like that one. Thank you!!
Sara
Very nice! You have managed to capture the softness of the plant. And we like the way you have filled the frame!
It is really looking beautiful. I must say that it is extra-ordinary. I just love it. Thank you very much for sharing such unique photo with us.
Don’t know either, sorry, but it’s beautiful!
It’s nice to be able to post a photo and ask a question and get an answer from the blogger world. Beautiful photo… thank you for participating in Think(ing) Green… Michelle
Beautiful photo! You are thinking green by taking the time to think about the beautiful plants around you!
