Floating Blooms

 


I saw these pretty flowers growing along a pathway and I decided to take a photo with my iPhone using the "portrait" mode.  I like the way that mode blurs the background.  This time it blurred the stem on the flowers so that it looks like they are actually floating in the air.














Here's another photo of the plant.  Google says this is called a Mexican Petunia.  I have no idea if that is right.  The Google AI bots get it right about 40% of the time.

    Looks like a Mexican Petunia to me..they can be very lush when getting more rain than in Phoenix. San Antonio grows splendid ones...though they benefit from a bit of extra moisture there too...

    Yes, that is a Mexican petunia. My brother has them growing around his mailbox!
