An agave at the Arizona-Sonora Desert museum in Tucson, AZ.

Found two of them together in my rhododendrons this morning. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eacles_imperialis There’s a very interesting photo in the Wikipedia description that shows how they’ve evolved to look like dead leaves. In fact, I pulled them off of the rhododendron because I thought they were dead leaves:(

The leaves of an agave at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum create a pattern of diamond shapes and shadows.

IMPATIENS WALLERIANA

  

La Impatiens walleriana Hook. f. (1868) è originaria dell’Africa tropicale (Kenya, Malawi, Mozambico, Tanzania e Zimbabwe) dove cresce nelle foreste costiere e lungo le rive dei fiumi in zone umide ed ombrose.

Il nome del genere è il termine latino “impatiens” = impaziente, con riferimento alle capsule che si aprono di scatto disseminando i semi; la specie è dedicata al missionario britannico Horace Waller (1833-1896).

IMPATIENS WALLERIANA

  

Impatiens walleriana Hook. f. (1868) is native to tropical Africa (Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe) where it grows in coastal forests and along the banks of rivers in humid and shady areas.

The name of the genus is the Latin term "impatiens" = impatient, with reference to the capsules that open suddenly, scattering the seeds; the species is dedicated to the British missionary Horace Waller (1833-1896).

getting harder to see them now the vegetation is growing up and the temperatures are rising, so it was nice to see this young female in overcast conditions.
