I try to be knowledgeable, or at least learn something new, but I have no idea what this flower is called. So I can't even look it up.I can tell you what it looks like to me -- a sea anemone when it's up close in macro territory.
These aren't the first flora that have reminded me of underwater fauna. Most recently, the buds on a particular maple tree sparked a similar imagination track.
The individual blossoms on this flower are only about the size of a pencil eraser. They act as a small filler flower in the front of a large pot that contains several varieties, heights and colors. They almost look like purple moss until you get up close.
And then, check them out with a macro lens, and they transform into an underwater creature.
But I have no idea what it's called. Do you?
