Name that flower

What kind of flower is this. I don't know. Maybe someone can leave a comment to help us all. The flower was at the -- the Barataria Preserve of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve that we visited this past weekend. The preserve is south of New Orleans.

  1. It doesn't even look like a flower...more like a scrub brush.

    I'm kidding....it's lovely, but I don't have a clue.

  2. I don't have a clue either. But I guess it must be a plant from Louisiana that does not grow in France! I am curious. I hope somebody will find what it is.

  3. I have no idea what kind of flower parts these are or what kind of flower it is. Makes a nice photo.

  4. I won't even try. I think it looks like it might crawl away at a moment's notice! It is very unusual!

  5. You don't have enough information in your picture. It's like taking a picture of an elephant and only showing the tail. When a plant isn't common you need more information. Is it a tree (my first thought)? Is it a shrub, a perennial, an annul? What about the fruit or seed? One petal of a pansy would tell most people enough to identify the flower. Knowing were to look for information is also very helpful.

  6. Love the colours and the details - no idea what flower though. None that I have seen in Cape Town or the UK.
