Yo1 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 If the bud and the spindly looking leaves belong to this flower, it may be a new variety of cosmos. Correct number and shape of petals with tiny stamen in the center. Google cosmos to see the one we are used to seeing in the fields and lots of new varieties.

Willie Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I love blue flowers!!! Just gorgeous! Can you please share where you got it? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 According to one of my plant books, it appears to be a clematis...maybe a hybrid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 My question is: Where and when was this photo taken..The rusted chain link fence leads me to think it is not locally???? My guesses are: I also think Clematis or Passion flower hybrid??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 There are ome clematis that are very similar but different; https://www.google.com.mx/search?q=blue+flower+with+white+star+in+center&newwindow=1&site=webhp&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwir2JH9vabSAhUCLmMKHQIvDYwQsAQIGg&biw=1024&bih=514 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo1 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 If the OP would tell us if the foliage in the photo belongs to the flower, we would know for sure if it's a cosmos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I agree with Yo1, the foliage and the shape of the petals indicate that it is most likely cosmos.. It is beautiful. There are so many beautiful hybrids these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuphel Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 While it is a beautiful image, it is most probably a fake. That perfect 'star' motif crosses over and across multiple petals. The chances of that happening in nature are mighty slim. Don't know if the white was added to a pic of a blue flower, or the blue to a white one, but my money is on 'Faux Flower'. Photoshop et al can do amazing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 You are absolutely right Stuphel and now it makes sense. Blue background with a white star. The title on this picture says "I love Texas".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 stupel I think you are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ficklepie Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 The Chrome browser allows you to right-click on any image and search it. Doing that, finding that it's likely a photoshopped "Cosmos Pinwheel," then searching for "Cosmos Pinwheel photoshopped" ends in search results with a page about this image here: https://ask.extension.org/questions/302213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
