When the candle in the middle of my birthday donut was lit, it lit seven more candles which opened into this lotus flower and played “Happy Birthday to You” over and over until the copper wire was cut. It was a gift from my friend Jane who had visited from the states a few months before but who couldn’t be here for my birthday. Now how’s that for a flower?????

The plants in the front garden have gotten so tall that it’s easier to view them from below than the top or the side. This canopy includes napa palms and hibiscus. A bit further on is a golden shower tree, royal poinciana, orchids and more palms and bougainvillea.
The stamens and pistils of the hibiscus are a little flower all their own..or a surreal little tree growing up out of the middle. I had some fun fiddling with the brightness and color balance. Which do you prefer?
