This colourful photo caught my eye recently and I thought how beautiful the buds and flowers are. The photo was taken by Natalie Scarberry (Texas, USA) and the plant is in her own garden. Natalie let me know a few hours ago that this is a Red Yucca.
Natalie combined this photo with some equally fine text (below).
Sometimes painful…

Liz I love the idea of my photo looking like barbed wire and that Damian connected it to the word painful in the quote! You both are very clever and perceptive! Hugs, N 😊❤️

Truly beautiful combination of vision and voice. It’s funny, the photograph is so soft and rich in colour and yet, maybe it’s just may twisted imagination, but there is a certain resemblance to barbed wire in the form of the branch than bloom that I feel is also echoed in the reference to the words ‘sometimes painful’.

You’re spot on, very perceptive! I had noticed in the photo there appears to be a wire running through as a horizontal element behind the spiky buds giving rise to the appearance of barbed wire. That had struck me too! and I like how you’ve made the connection with “painful” in the text. So interesting! Thanks Dami!
