Album 891: College Station - Mercer Arboretum, Texas, September 19 - 25, 2010

The image is a close-up photograph of white ginger flowers (Costus spiralis).

They are three, with two prominent ones facing forward and one partially visible to the right. The petals of each flower are long and narrow, curling back and ending in frilly edges; they look like small paper fans or ruffled silk. The stamen is yellow and slender, rising from a center of red sepals.

The flowers stand out against a dark, blurry background. It appears to be taken in a garden or arboretum with other plants behind the ginger. – AI vision
