I chose this shot for its repeat pattern and limited color palette. It wasn't well focused and was shot in flat light, so I added a couple of filters to give it a little more visual interest.
Bear's Breeches, aka Oyster Plant, Acanthus mollis
Family Acanthaceae . . . Native to the Mediterranean...A tender perennial, hardy outdoors only in the warmer climate or growing zones in the USA, but potentially invasive where it is hardy.
Acanthus flowers typically have thorns on their sepals (that's what 'acanthus' means), so beware when handling.

Thanks so much to all of you who left comments for yesterday's shot of a cemetery angel even when I wasn't able to comment myself. Each one was heartily appreciated.
