If I hadn’t gone down to the studio today to try to find a bee and flowers to decorate the hors d’oeuvre plate I took to Jim’s memorial, I would have missed seeing this wonderful flower in its prime, snuggled up against the down ramp from my bedroom terrace to the lower garden and studio. I keep forgetting to go down and see what new surprises appear there daily.

This sunny visitor was the single bloom on its bush today. With a beauty like this, one is enough.
I almost missed these little beauties on this volunteer guava tree in my front garden.
It took me a while to notice the little visitor on this bougainvillea branch.

I love lantana, which sometimes grow to tree size here, but I had to remove all of them from my backyard because my dogs were eating the berries, which are very poisonous for dogs. I took a stroll outside my wall today and was delighted to find this lantana, which I had forgotten I had planted there.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day prompt.
This tiny flower is easy to overlook. Lacking my good camera since its demise, the focus isn’t quite so defined as I would wish. (Excuses, excuses.)
