As the name suggests, the five petals are only on one side of the flower, making it asymmetrical. They can achieve some symmetry when there are four flowers around the central piece. A hardy ground-cover, it does well in arid conditions.
For Cee’s challenge, a fortnight lily bud.
It’s warming up and we’re off to Semaphore Beach, South Australia. Which way? asks sonofabeach in his challenge.
