I believe this is the first time this hibiscus has bloomed since I bought it months ago. I had forgotten about it and suddenly was surprised by two blooms! I probably published a photo of it when I bought it but I believe Zoe ate the flowers and it never bloomed again. I have a tag named “Bleeding Heart Hibiscus” and just the other day, I was wondering what it was and where I had seen it. Now I know! So happy. Just the other day I was wishing I had a white hibiscus.
This is today’s progress in this ongoing project. Body finished, scales going on, then the “rattles” and plumes to complete. I haven’t measured but I think it is about 15 meters long. Judy’s folly.

I’ve never had an anthurium with so many colors of blooms before. They are all on their way to becoming this color, though, I believe. Thanks Barb and Chris for giving them to me!!
The last photo is the original and the first three are the altered copies. Which do you prefer?
Just one of the blooms on the gorgeous anthurium plant given to me by Chris and Barbara yesterday is green. The rest are all vivid red. Just perfect to replace the one I’ve had since Xmas that just finally lost its blooms after 6 months!!! This one will take its place in my kitchen that seems to be the exact right spot for it. The other one was placed in the garden to produce more blooms.
For Cee’s FOTD.
Afterwards we came to my house to swim until dark. All-in-all, a perfect day.
