First EVER BRT flower. Not quite open, but we're getting some rain, so I wanted to catch it before it got ruined. Stay tuned...View attachment 316707

What's BRT?

Zuchini is an offense against nature. Real men eat squash that ripens in autumn and stores until March. I'm just sayin'...

There are so many Cucurbitaceae, some that are best eaten fresh, others that can keep for months in a cellar. Why do you want to pull a gun for that ?

What's BRT?

Brazilian Rain Tree.
Beautiful powder puff like white or yellow flowers.

The foliage in that picture doesn't look like BRT?

Lighten up, M. K. Zuchini are the butt of many jokes, not the least of which is the size they get if the gardener goes on vacation. In mushroom-speak, they are edible, but not choice.

It's open!

WOW! Always beautiful when they bloom!

Last year, this one was growing in the ground and had bland, pale pink almost white flowers. This year, after being potted and styled, it has brighter pink flowers with some candy cane stripes- so much nicer

First time! Always been jealous of @LanceMac10 posting his blooming.

Surprise lily, Lycoris squamigera. These came from my grandmother’s garden after she died in 1998. She was an avid gardener. We moved them with us as we went from Iowa to Alabama, and they bloomed for the first time 3 summers ago. The foliage grows early and dies back. Then the bloom spike appears in mid-July, and grows to about 36” tall in just a few days, followed quickly with the blooms.

Fun fact:
The English say: Death or Glory.
The Dutch say: Death or the Gladioli.

They're grown en masse for the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Four_Days_Marches_Nijmegen
But this year it's cancelled.

I don't want to get in trouble in that thread. I meant to ask you if this was one. I think I misidentified it's leaves for something else in my scragpit.

And there are no stages of the flower! Before and after only!

It had quite the tuberous carrot, seems juicy enough to live through anything.
