Daffodils along the Trinity River – 7th Street Bridge in the background
I noticed this odd little flower among the bunch and immediately thought of Midwestern Plant Girl. Plant Girl…..would you like a shot at explaining this unique genetically altered plant?!
Cool! Thanks.
Thanks Helen!
Amazing! Never seen then growing like that!
Hi Tree! Amazing find you’ve got there. I’ve actually written a post about these. It’s a genetic symptom called a ‘chimera’. Where there is a whole different set of dna that causes the half/half thing. There is a lot of dna being messed with in daffy’s during propagation. This one was just showing off. This may not happen to the flower next year, so good capture on that! This can happen in people also! Have you ever seen someone with 2 different colored eyes? Jane Seymore, the actress is one.

I knew you would know the answer! And after reading your article I now know something I didn’t know yesterday!!
I was really amazed at how perfectly split the colors were. It was quite pretty!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
Anytime, Tree, Anytime!!
Lovely, Tree!
Thanks Stacy!
That cluster of gold looks stunning with the bridge as a backdrop!!
Thank you Joanne! I love that bridge. It’s only a few years old….I think it is a lovely addition to Fort Worth.
Some of that sky is the same color as the flowers. Love it! Good stuff, Tree.
A bit of editing certainly helped…..I have so much to learn. Thanks Gemma!
Don’t we all. 😉 And not just about photography.
So true!!
Demonstrating the wonderful diversity in life! Beautiful flowers.
I’m glad you like the photo! Thanks for commenting.
Love these!! And your train photos, too. I’m so far behind in all my reading I may not be able to comment as I would like, but you have some really great shots.
Thanks Sue!
I also have a really hard time keeping up with everyone’s post.
Sometimes I wish my job understood that blogging requires a few hours out of my work day!!
