Here's a plant I don't think I've shown on this site before. It's called a slipper plant but, it's official name is Euphorbia lomelii. I've been told that it gets it's name from the blooms that supposedly look like ladies slippers. Personally, I don't see the resemblance. It's an unusual plant that produces these bloom but does not have any leaves. It just has tall, erect stalks. I see a lot of it in the hummingbird garden at the Desert Botanical Garden so it might be attractive to hummingbirds.

I agree with you, I don't see any slipper either.But it is a special one I have never seen before.
I don't don't see the resemblance either. It certainly looks different most flowers I have seen.
What a weird plant! Evolution is amazing, isn't it?!
No leaves - how odd! I don't see a slipper either!
What A Shot!! Such A Beautiful Plant. What A World We Live On.
Cheers
I believe I have never seen a slipper plant before. I would like to have one in my garden.
I've never seen or heard of a slipper plant before. Great shot of it, Sharon.
Pretty, Sharon!
Nerver saw that one before. Nice and original, like yin and yang.
I've never seen a plant like it.
