Little Purple Bush Flower: Flower of the Day, May 27, 2016

2 Replies

Still Unidentified!!!

Can you see the little purple flower against this backdrop?
Or now?
perhaps if I climbed up closer.
Do you see it now?
Why didn’t I think of breaking off a piece earlier? Much easier to identify it in person.
But alas, no luck.

Here are some more shots of the little purple flower that I played around with yesterday.  I don’t think I gave any idea of how tiny it is, so I’m trying again today.  As you can see, it is smaller than a thumbnail and difficult to see against all the color of flashier flowers and foliage surrounding it. My research didn’t yield the name of this flowering bush, although at one point I saw two pictures of it on my screen that matched exactly.  I was so excited before I determined that I was looking at my own photos!  Back to the drawing board. (If you want to read the captions you need to either hover over the photo or click on first photo to enlarge them all and show captions.)

This little flower, tiny and non-assuming, deserved a makeover.  I’ll try to reclaim her “before photo” in a minute and share it with you, as well.

Poor little thing. Tiny, out of focus, a bit shriveled up, hidden by denser foliage. I’ll try to do better by her tomorrow.

Golden Shower Tree (Cassia Fistula) : Flower of the Day, May 26, 2016

I found two of these gorgeous long clusters hanging down from a tree near the entrance to the house.  Yolanda says it has been there for 14 years, but I have never noticed the blooms before.  How could this be?  It is so shaded by the Poinciana tree that it hasn’t leafed out below.  This bloom cluster was higher up where it could get some sun.  Amazing.   It has a long skinny pistil that curves up. If you click on the photos, you’ll be able to see it.  Thanks to Gaya for identifying it for me.

Plumeria: Flower of the Day May 21, 2016

Well, six months later, Pasiano still hasn’t cut down the plumeria (frangipani) tree, and this year it is especially prolific, so aren’t I glad he didn’t? As usual, click to enlarge.

This surprise awaited me in my garden today. These colors of gold and burnt orange surround me.  They are the colors of the outside of my house and studio as well as my bedroom.
