This is the same hibiscus I showed a night shot of two nights ago. Who needs diamonds or yachts when she can have a flower like this constantly blooming to enjoy every morning?

I went out at midnight to get something from the car and saw two new hibiscus glowing in the light from beside the door. Of course, I had to capture them, which brought the cats streaming down from the garage. Tricky getting in and out to get the camera as they are wonderful little escape artists, with two or three distracting me while the other two or three slip into the house. Then I had the camera on the wrong setting, so after spending a half hour trying to work with the photos, it finally occurred to me I could go back out with a flashlight to capture better color. In the end, however, once on the correct setting, I could use available light. Then had to narrow the choices down. This beauty was the winner.

One last zinnia before I head out. I’ll be gone for six weeks so I may or may not post a flower of the day from Wyoming, Missouri, Minnesota and Alabama! I leave in a week. Lots to do!!
See the most incredible rose photo HERE.
My zinnias are in as many stages of development as there are zinnias. This one is in its prime.


The cannas just keep blooming and the bees just keep coming. Thankful for that.

Cee has requested that I keep on posting new photos of hibiscus and I haven’t disobeyed one of her suggestions yet, so here is yesterday’s crop. Two dinner plate sized hibiscus on my brand new bush by the kitchen door:

This tradescantia vine, also known as Wandering Jew or Purple Heart, is one of my favorites. Regrettably, I haven’t captured it too well, but I had to stop the car and take this shot from the window and an impatient driver was honking his horn behind me. Even he has to suffer for art. Like it or not.
