  1. My gloved hand, for scale.
    This magneta dahlia is taller than me, I had to pull a large branch down to take this photo. It's still blooming with more petals to unfurl.
    It is big, bold & beautiful!

  2. #CapeHawthorn aka #WaterHawthorn.
    It's native to #SouthAfrica. People there have long cultivated & harvested the buds & flowers as food. It's used to make #WaterblommetjieBredie - a traditional South African stew. The #Afrikaans name of this traditional cultural dish translates to "stew of little water flowers".

    It's not a widely known edible water plant here. It's delicious. If you enjoy green beans - you'll probably enjoy eating Cape hawthorn buds/flowers too.

  3. #WesternTrillium.
    This is an older Western trillium, in urban forest. They're usually all white. As they get older(takes many years), you'll see shades of pink & purple petals.
    Please never disturb Western trilliums in the wild. They are extremely sensitive native plants & need to be left alone to visually admire. Western trillium takes up to 15 years to flower. Once it has been picked/heavily disturbed, it dies. Please leave them growing 🙏
