FOTD – October 13 – Lined Tritonia ‘rose lace’ (Tritonia gladiolarus)

It’s easy to see why this delicately drawn species of Tritonia goes by the name ‘Lined Tritonia’, and not hard to understand it’s hybrid name – rose lace. 🙂

(Click on image to open in a new window and click again to expand) 🙂Such a delicate shade of pink – almost white with it’s lacework pattern of veins looking as if they have been hand drawn onto the petals.

.

Several flowers grow upon a single long, thin, wiry stem that is often unable to support their combined weight, and i sometimes have to lift them up and rest them on other plants for support when i take their picture. 😉
