An exotic plant

Santa Cruz do Sul, 28 December 2021

I've taken numerous pictures of the plant pictured here.

Everything fascinated me about it although I could say this of
pretty much any plant. As regards the reasons why I seemed to take

of course, but this could also be said about any other plant. In the end, I surmise, it's
to do with the fact that to my Swiss trained eyes it looked so utterly exotic.

Und so habe ich jetzt zwar eine ganz andere Blume vor Augen, die mir jedoch auch die beiden Blumen ins Gedächtnis rufen, die nicht auf dem Bild zu sehen ist. Was wieder einmal unterstreicht, dass wir nur sehen können, was wir wissen.
