Because of chronic water shortages here to beautify the place Mrs Ucci has all these cacti and succulents in pots strategically placed around the yard. (Her other strategem she uses, which seems to work better in the beautifying stakes, is to keep me in doors out of sight of passersby as much as possible!)
Anyway this is the flower on one of her potted succulents. No, haven't the foggiest of what it is called other than a 'pink thingy!' As I type this an ethereal voice floated over the ether from the direction of MRs Ucci's pc, " I think it is a Bromelaid. Of which there are 7 families and hundreds of species!" So there you go. Sorry I asked her. Like, bromelaid, lemonade, who cares? A pink flower is good enough ID for me.
Don't know if it is of interest but it was a hand held shot with the 300mm lens using 1/100s, f/5.0, ISO 100
Thanks for viewing and any comments you may care to post.
