I returned from two months at the beach to find my poinsettias lusher than ever. Not just a Xmas plant here! (Click on photos to enlarge.)
If you wonder what the ring is on the cabinet top next to the poinsetta, go HERE for an explanation.
Rick and Christine have been painting over every door in the Puesta del Sol. Here is a detail from one of my favorites: Flowers and Iguanas. The central flower is probably about 8″ across.
Here is the entire door and window surround:

Midnight Tryst at the Horticultural Society Ball
In spite of our earlier indecision, when our eyes met in passing on the dance floor, they sealed the tacit agreement that we would slip into the garden at the set hour. Later, we would try but fail to furnish an adequate excuse to our spouses of the reason for our mutual midnight escape. Even our shots of the night-blooming cereus could not adequately explain our defection. It was as though we carried the scent of our desire-—as heady as the scent of that rare flower-—back to the hall with us. A universal blanket of dispraise settled over the crowd, in spite of the excitement over our viewing of the rare bloom. Everyone knew. Our mutual fate was sealed.
The prompt words for today are garden, tacit, dispraise and desire. I also made use of Cee’s FOTD flower prompt.
