A not dissimilar one to guess what this is 20! At least in the sense that it could be obvious but it probably is not.
Added later:
And if you want to jump ahead, you can see a picture of the whole flower if you click here (http://www.mgsforum.org/smf/index.php?topic=505.msg4431#msg4431)!
-
note sure if you're leading us stray in the clue,
but I'll havea stab at Tropaeolum anyway, and if pushed T. majus
-
No, sorry only the colour is near!
-
Campsis radicans or grandifolia
-
Nope. Not even warm.
-
pomegranate
-
No, sorry.
-
A tulip?
-
Very slightly warmer in the sense that it's closer in evolutionary terms!
-
A lily?
-
Or maybe gladiolus?
-
Hemerocallis
-
No and no and no!
-
Hippeastrum
-
No.
-
Canna?
-
No but it is shaping up!
-
Zantedeschia?
-
T.p ?
-
He said it wasn't a Tropaeolum though....
-
I meant Tigridia pavonia
-
Ahhh!
-
No, no, no, no!
-
Another bit of the flower then!
-
No more ideas on this one then?
-
Zingiber? rubens?
-
At last you are now in the right family. But no Melvyn.
-
OK, one more go then, Zingiber officinale ?
-
A couple of wild guesses, Etlingera sp. or Amomum sp.?
-
Nope.
-
Sorry John, didnt read your reply correctly.Cheilocostus sp.?
-
Hi, I should have said no to Zingiber officinale.
-
This is taking too long and you have all lost interest so here's the whole flower head. More guesses?
-
ah - Canna?
-
Oh no Mike, no. The colour got you!
-
I can't believe no one has got this with a full picture of the flower head!
-
Hedychium greenii?
-
Yes it is. Solved. Well done Chloe.
