Peaceful Saturday
Kangaroo Paw buds taken at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show this year in March at the Carlton Gardens.
Kangaroo Paw flowers are highly distinctive with their finger-like projections and the cover of fine velvet hairs that give the flowers their colour.
Kangaroo Paws originate from the south west of Western Australia and of the 12 species 11 are from the Anigozanthos genus.
The 12th is particularly distinctive. It comes from the Macropidia genus and is known as the Black Kangaroo Paw because of its black and green flowers.

These are called Kangaroo Paws. I’ll admit I’ve yet to see a kangaroo with a paw that looks remotely like this, obviously imagination plays a big role in botany. There were thousands of them in bloom throughout Kings Park in Perth this day, in all manner of shapes and colours. I liked the colourful bokeh from all the other paws in the background. Gave me paws for thought ;)
The name got me wondering though whether there are other plants named after animal parts, so I Googled it. And yes, it turns out plants have been borrowing names from the animals for some time.
If real botany can give us kangaroo paw, bear’s breeches, and dog’s tooth violet, then I see no reason we shouldn’t also have Wombat Elbows Weed, Pigeon Kneecaps Primrose, Badger Balls Buttercup, Yak Tongue Thistle, and perhaps Walrus Willies Lillies, although that one may require a warning label.
Which makes me wonder how do you become the person who decides plant names? I assume there’s an online course, followed by a brief exam. You would have to have conviction though. You couldn’t name something Duck’s Eyeball Dayflower, have it published in official journals and stuff, and then later decide it actually looks more like a Mole’s Nose. Anyway, something else to look into. I sense big opportunities in the plant-naming field.
Have a great week out there everyone, and thanks as always for popping by and for any comments — much appreciated!

A quick snapshot of Filou taken when he relaxed on the porch this afternoon. Sometimes he looks at his paw and seems to be amazed how perfect it is (and how clean) ! :)
The cats are incredibly sleepy at them moment ! I can't blame them, the weather is windy, cold and wet, but I'm beginning to wonder what I'm going to photograph in the next weeks and months ...
Kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos) is a genus of 11 species and multiple subspecies of flowering plants that are native to Australia. These plants have long, slender, arching leaves similar to the foliage of daylilies or amaryllis plants. The unusual tubular flowers grow on stalks in fan-like rows and are covered in velvety fuzz, giving them the appearance of a Kangaroo's paw. The blooms come in an array of shades, including red, orange, yellow, and purple.
I love Kangaroo paw plants because they grow fairly quickly and don’t require much maintenance.
Relaxing on my settee with my cat Ebony perched above me, I was captured by the way she had crossed her paws, one over the other. I managed to take this shot before she moved. I loved the way the sunlight was catching the higher paw and the hairs so delicate and soft. Close up like this you can see the relationship to her bigger family members. I love sharing my life with this beautiful creature.
Our little Honeysuckle had to have exploratory surgery on her paw yesterday. She had a cyst on her foot, but she is recovering well! Seen here, snoozing on the afghan my grandmother crocheted me when I went off to college! Honeysuckle can have her bandage off in 48 hours, but she is doing fine!

Archie diligently washing his paws in one of many box castles he has enjoyed hiding in over the past few years. I can't believe how long his whiskers look in this shot! Wishing you all a fantastic weekend of photography my Flickr friends - stay safe!
There are many cute things about the Dragon and one part that is underrespresented on my photostream are his paws, so I thought I should take a photo of them when he sat on a shelf and showed them so nicely. :)
