My twenty-first photo for Becky’s square photo challenge: In the Pink
The graduated pink of the Silk Tree flower so fine and delicate
If you want to join in here are a few ideas from Becky.
The theme for squares this month is ‘In the Pink‘ and the one rule as always is that your main photograph must be square. After that the world is your oyster, or should I say flamingo?! To help you get started here are some ideas you might want to consider;
- ‘In the Pink’ – means perfect condition or in good health, so that could be human or not!
- ‘Tickled Pink‘ – means delighted, so I’m thinking happy, fun and of course delighted. That could be you or the subject of your photograph.
- Pink – you can of course simply share anything that is coloured pink
- There is an extra challenge for those of you up for it – can you manage to combine two of these, or maybe even all three?
Squares is a daily challenge, so your photographs can be from the archives or brand new. Don’t forget though to keep your photo square, and to pingback with #InthePink.
What a beauty! On my homeward journey now so time for a catchup 😃

What an amazing flower. Can you make silk from it or does it just have the name because it looks like silk thread?

Thanks Becky 🙂 It is the thread like flowers. Once the flower is off the tree it doesn’t last long. The seed pods are like velvet too.

Fascinating. Do/did the aborginals use it for anything?

Done and here is your answer

oh wow what a useful tree! Is there anything it doesn’t do. Fascinates me about who and how people first discover plant medicinal power, and then how that knowledge spreads.
Thank you so very much for doing the research 🙂

You’re welcome Becky. I am sure I have photos in a post with the seeds and seed pod. The seed and pod photos are way down in the post
