Flowers (6)

Golden Chain or Laburnum
Laburnum (commonly called Golden Chain). All parts of the plant are poisonous and can be lethal if consumed in excess.
Syringa vulgaris
Syringa vulgaris (Lilac or Common Lilac). Common Lilac is a very common ornamental plant in gardens and parks, because of the attractive, sweet smell of its flowers.

Tritoma, Torch Lily or Red Hot Poker
Kniphofia uvaria is also known as Tritoma, Torch Lily or Red Hot Poker

Nigella damascena (Love-in-a-mist)
Nigella damascena (Love-in-a-mist). It’s also sometimes called Devil-in-the-Bush.

Which of the above flowers do you really like most? Some of my friends were asking me how do I know the specific name of the flowers I captured. I told them that generally, in the garden or park, the flower or plant’s name has its own name tag, commonly in a form of Scientific Name. After that, I kept them in my mind and when I got home, I renamed the photo filename into its real name. And for other people to understand more what I’ve posted and shared, I looked the other name at wikipedia.
