Some of them I know, and some I have to do some research on. <br /><br />You've been a big help with some of the "mystery blooms" yourself!khunbaobaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658046085295050474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274299963162134114.post-51308357330535910792012-09-25T12:30:00.563-07:002012-09-25T12:30:00.563-07:00I have to say your plant knowledge and writing has...I have to say your plant knowledge and writing has come a long way in these few years Bao-Bao. I love these shots.<br /><br />The flower colours are so vivid and the petals don't look at all fragile.<br /><br />An additional note for you: The family group Spurge is from Middle English / Old French espurge (to purge) due to the use of the plants sapo as a purgative.<br /><br />The entire genus of Euphorbia is one of the largest. It has approximately 2008 species. They range from the floral you see in your shots, to cacti and then the non throny and beatiful succulants.<br /><br />Have a great day and keep up the good work.<br /><br />I don't comment every day but I look every day.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Keithkrobbienoreply@blogger.com
