I laugh, Jo, as this plant is so huge, getting a macro of it is something else. I wish you had included a regular shot of it so folks could have seen that it is taller than you are! It could have easily protected you from the rain in a storm. I am always a bit hesitant to get near them for fear that they are really carnivores and no one has really found out yet.
Carmen, these shots were taken another day, not the day we were there. I did not include regular shots because I'm focusing on mcaros. They are NOT carnivores. The carnivores are at the conservatory of flowers.
Rainfield, Some I know and some I don't. These shots were taken a few weeks ago and I wasn't jotting names but I have since started doing that. I've got two weeks of posts already scheduled but after that, most of the shots will come with names :) Thanks
Duni, Yes, the textures are very exotic. Thanks for commenting

I'm so glad that you have a new camera because you've been bringing so many beautiful flowers to show us, Jo! They are just gorgeous!
Out on the prairie, The first one was around the bird of paradise so it could be. The last one does look like a sea creature :) It however was located in the garden of fragrance area of the gardens but I could not find a name. It's really cool to see in person.
Chub, thanks so much.
Sadia, You know, I don't know and I can't remember where I snapped it within the gardens but I will look for it again. You are right, we see the outer beauty and only through a camera lens can we see the inner beauty. Thanks.
Ann, we have many exotics out there and they are so much fun to see and study. Thanks.
I think I say this often, but I love flower and plant closeups. Looking at them like this is what began to stir my interest in them. They look so much different this way.
