This scene is a bit surreal. It does contain flowers, but also other elements that create an almost eerie atmosphere, including the mist coming in from the right. But since the prompt is titled “Flower of the Day,” guess I should include a bit of a closer view of the bougainvillea as well:

The wild tumble of bougainvillea actually forms a wall in my friend’s open-walled house. She lives about as outside as it is possible to live without actually living outside. Later on this week, I’ll show you her house, studio and art. I love the wildness of these intermixed vines, the shadows and the colors. Here’s another one for you, Cee.

More Orange Bougainvilleas
Okay, more orange bougainvilleaS, but this time with the real flowers : (Click on photos to enlarge.)
Each of those little coral pistil-looking rods is actually a flower bud getting ready to open. Since my last bougainvilleas post, most of them have opened, giving the bougainvillieas a fluffier look! I like both stages–sparse and frilly! In Mexico, they are bugambilias and they have many namesakes: housing developments, shopping centers, movie theaters.
