Earrings and Surprises: Flower of the Day, Sep 24, 2018

When Pasiano went to the vivero for more soil for my new pots, I asked him to choose two plants for the pots we’d put at the entrance to my house and to just surprise me. These are the plants he bought. Yolanda says the red and white one is an “aretes” plant, which means earrings–I guess because the red hangs down from the white.Through research, I’ve determined that the arete plant (actually, earrings of the queen) is a variety of fuchsia and the other plant is a hydrangea.  Mystery solved. They are the only white flowers in my garden.  A surprise that the Americano chooses all the bright colors and the Mexicano chose white, albeit with a little splash of blue or red in the center.

The Indian Shot or Canna Indica Lily. They grow like weeds in my planters. Don’t dare let them escape! If you want to know how they came to be called Indian Shot lilies, go HERE to hear the story.

This is the second bloom on my new hibiscus. Heavy rains last night battered it a bit, but she’s still pretty perky!  Love this new addition to my garden.

I knew as the garage doors closed that I should have gone back for my camera!  I had to borrow my daughter-in-law Debbie’s phone to snap this shot.

Ho hum, another day, another hibiscus.  Thought I owed you a real flower in addition to forgottenman’s brain storm of a flower. (That storm being literal.)
