Clueless Saturday - Week 22 - The Kickoff
8
Categories: Photo-Journal •May 31, 2008
I hope that you will enjoy this new addition to the photo blogging scene. 
And to show the two ways
to participate, so I make a double Clueless Saturday.
First off is a riddle picture - letting you the viewer guess what it might be. And the second is a plant
that I have no clue what it is - but maybe you do! So without further ado - guess away!
What am I ? [SOLVED BY SANDPIPER]
What kind of plant am I? This seems to be a solitary plant, about 2-3 ft off the ground and has a diameter of about 1 1/2 inch. They grow in proximity to bodies of water. Sandy soil. Pine Trees, Life Oaks and Cypress nearby. [UNSOLVED]
Guess away! If you want to join in on the fun, click here! And don’t forget to check on the other riddles
by visiting our other participants! Thank you and have fun!

Well, I’ve got the first: snowy egret feathers. Don’t know the plant though. I’ll try to put something up tomorrow

The first one could be the feathers of a Great (White) Egret. I don’t know about the plant. Maybe some kind of mallow?

Hi Lin - you got the 1st one right! The picture shows the mating plume of a Great White Egret. June was close though.
For the plant - I did an intensive image search, though I won’t exclude it - but it seems that it isn’t a Mallow species. Similarities are there - but Mallows seem to be generally larger with longer, thinner pistils and bigger stamen.

Klaus: Very nice post, Lin is very good at shore birds. Very nice pictures, I’m clueless.

I had scrolled down to your other pictures (which are great by the way) so I saw the snowy egret and knew this was a close up. I wasn’t beaten to the punch even so. I don’t know the flower, however.

WOW, you sure have shown off the Egrets’ feathers to their best advantage on your blog! Huge guess what flower that might be is an extra tall growing type of African Violet. I said ‘huge’ guess HAHA
