I found the name of my red flower. Beschorneria yuccoides
(Mexican False Red Yucca)
The park ranger gave me a clue it is a South African Lily. It is a Yucca.
These casurina seeds, once, I told my nieve that in NZ, people burn pine cones to give a nice scent in the house. We saw these casurina ones, and we started picking them. Elly the mum says she will burn them, might even ward of mosquitoes. I left then, so i don't know if they burn them or not.
May you experiment.
Hey! This is the 1st time i'm seeing them. Hmmmm....interesting!
Lovely pics, thanks, Jama.
These remind me of the seed pods that sweet gum trees let go of - my kids always called them porcupine eggs. :) They hurt to step on, lol.
I've never seen those before! This is what I like about blogging, you get to see all kinds of interesting things!
Do you use those for making fires? It looks as if they'd burn well.
This one is new to me, Jama. It's a great macro shot!
never seen such a flower.
