Frangipani (Plumeria)––Flower of the Day, May 31, 2016
This is the tree I asked Pasiano to cut down twice six months ago, when it was in its messy dormant stage where it was dropping all its leaves to stand ugly and gray beside the pool. I guess I’m glad he didn’t, but may change my mind when it is once again flowerless and leafless!

Indian Shot: Flower of the Day, May 30, 3016
I love this Indian Shot flower in its two stages of going to seed.
I did a second posting for “Flower of the Day” today because I wanted to show the flower of this seed pod for those who have never seen it. I took this one yesterday, but today just one flower had opened up so I did a new shoot! Go here to see it:

Golden Shower Tree––Flower of the Day May 29, 2016
I couldn’t reisist three more shots of the “Lluvia de Oro” or Golden Shower Tree. The sun was right today and they are so exotic up close.

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

Shy One: Flower of the Day, May 26, 2016
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.

Dwarf Plumeria (Tabachine): Flower of the Day, May 25, 2016
Heliconia: Flower of the Day, May 22, 2016
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.
