Anyone know what these two flowers are?

Taken in Cape Town.

Post by **Toko** » Wed May 23, 2012 7:44 pm

The first one might be Pelargonium cucculatum,

and the second a pincushion protea, perhaps Leucospermum erubescens .

Thank you Lis & Toko. $\O$ I'm hopeless at plants. :oops:

Is this too a kind of sausage tree

And is this a papaia?

Post by **Toko** » Wed May 23, 2012 7:47 pm

The first one might be a Carica sp.

The second one

is a normal Papaya, not native to Southern Africa :?

The papaya is a carica and I have looked at a lot of carica pics, but found nothing with that kind of sausages on a string, which of course does not exclude that it IS a carica :lol:

It is a sort of papaya = carica and some of them have the "melons" hanging on "ropes", like Carica quercifolia

Post by **Lisbeth** » Wed May 23, 2012 7:49 pm

The quercia foglia it is :lol: I am sure that you are right, I must just find it

But if it is not native to SA it is not worth the trouble :?

Africa Wild
