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.

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.

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.
