The photo app tagged this as a “plant”. I can be more specific. It is the bark of a palm tree. I like the leaves surrounding it. That’s probably what confused my trusty phone camera.

The photo app identified the subject of this sketch as Perez’s Sea Lavender, native to the coasts of the Canary Islands, but widely seen in gardens around the world.
