What is this? 56 - now solved!
« on: December 06, 2013, 07:35:10 AM »
Well I thought I would have a go at setting one of these, but I do not have the photographic skills to make it work.
It is pretty obvious what the photo is of, but after trying so hard to to do it, I thought I would post it anyway.

Hi Daisy,
it looks like the bracts around the flowers on Oregano rotundifolium or one of its hybrids - the flower looks to be a gorgeous colour!

A nice one, Daisy, it looks as if Fermi's got it right.

Yes of course. It is Oregano rotundifolium Kent Beauty.
I think in future I will leave these puzzles to those of you, not so photographically challenged as I.
