Hibiscus
I love both the veining and the shadow of the pistils and stamen in this shot. The sun was brighter than usual–perhaps an indication of the ending of the rainy season. it hasn’t rained for days and things are starting to look less lush. Soon it will be wildflower season in the mountains. More photo opportunities!!

Orange Bougainvillea: Cee’s Flower of the Day, 8/27/15
This is my very favorite color of bougainvillea. It changes in color within the same plant from pinkish to orange to gold. I believe it depends on the amount of sunlight it gets, but I haven’t really researched it so that is opinion only.
Which of the below treatments of the same photo do you prefer?

Here’s a closeup view of the wonderful flowers of the Silk Floss Tree. It is ceiba speciosa- such an interesting tree that I’m going to do another posting on it, showing its trunk and large seed pods as well.)

And, the tree itself.

Orange Thunbergia: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge
Hard to believe that yes, this, too, is a thunbergia! I bought this plant years ago and had Pasiano plant it, but it was invisible–obscured by bougainvillea and ferns. I thought it had died out long ago, then yesterday I saw it rising up from the thick undergrowth and twining up this wire at the entrance to my house. Perfect!
Now, go HERE for Cee’s perfect detail of an iris and flowers by others!
Hibiscus Incline
The ramp to my studio is lined with a new crop of hibiscus peeking through the guard railings.

Tradescantia Pallida: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge, 8/15/2015
The common name for this purple-accented vining plant is “Wandering Jew” This particular variety has such beautiful little flowers that I had to present them.
