Sorry folks. I didn't realize the comments were being censored. I thought nobody loked me anymore. The first person to correctly name the plant is the winner. The other parts are: Water on a leaf, reflection of trees, reflection of the sky.

Am I the first to play today?
ReplyDeleteMy guess for what its worth
The elements of Water, wind
And of course, the Earth
OK I'll give it a try
ReplyDeleteWater Earth and Sky
J9 has me rhinking even more.
ReplyDeleteNow your parts must add up to four.
Earth (as seen in the leaf)
ReplyDeleteWater (as seen in the droplet on the leaf)
Fire (as seen in the reflection of the sparkling sun in the droplet on the leaf)
Sky (as also seen in the reflection)
plant, water, sky and light
ReplyDeleteEarth,water,sun and sky?
ReplyDeleteI will take another stab
ReplyDeleteat this whatzit up for grab
a banana leaf is the largest part
filled with water from a rainy start
blown about an a windy day
reflecting a sky of stormy grey
Oh this is fun!!! Uhmmmmmm the sun?? Maybe I don't get the game...that is what I saw. Plant, water, sky and sun....hmmmmmm. Sarah
ReplyDeleteA water lily
ReplyDeleteand drop of dew
shows the sky above
to me and you.
Is that four...
or maybe more?
There is no trick to this my friend.
ReplyDeleteJust name the photo parts to win.
Gordon my guess has gotten lost
ReplyDeleteIn your approval process as host!

ReplyDeletelooks like an elephant ear Philodendron to me but all 900 if the genus have simular leaf formattins at the stem.
ReplyDeleteword verication - spider.... hum!
A Philodendron, it is not.
ReplyDeleteIs that all that Ginger's got?
Drat - another guess begonia???
ReplyDeleteword verify - gyrano
as in verval gyration?
I'm really glad that I have known ya.
ReplyDeleteBut, this is far from being begonia.
This leaf holds water. It holds frogs
ReplyDeleteThat often hop from floating logs.
A Lily pad (water lily)
ReplyDeleteand thats my last guess.
someone else needs to try.
A lilly pad is what we say,
ReplyDeleteWhen referring to this whatzit every day.
But, alas, in the whatzit game
We must guess its proper name.
okay so I couldn't stand not knowing

ReplyDeleteHas gotten Gordon to stop his rants!
Sometimes we search the web for facts,
ReplyDeleteAnd, still, the proper name we lacks.

So, try again if you're so bold.
I'll wait right here. My breath, I'll hold.
Nelumbonaceae, is my recent guess
ReplyDeleteI hate to be a pest,
Lotus is a common name

My, oh my, aren't we testy.
ReplyDeleteThis whatzit game was very zesty.
J9 has, once again, endured.
Her itch for victory has been cured.
I thought that it would never end.
My hat goes off, to you, my friend.
