Wild Dagga

While on a hike, I saw this pretty orange flower and snapped a picture. When I got home, I did an internet search and found out that it is a "wild dagga" or "lion's tail", latin name "Leonotis leonurus". It's in the mint family and a native of Africa where it is used as an herbal medicine. You can read more about it here.

Wrought Iron Gate

I took this photo down in Venice (California) along Abbott Kinney Blvd. Unfortunately, I didn't write down the shop name. I like the rusty look of the flower.
