Hibiscus with Worst House Guest Scenario: Flower of the Day, 9/3/15

Hibiscus with Worst House Guest Scenario

IMG_4022

Version 4 IMG_4021 (2) Some leaf predator has been busy on this hibiscus leaf, and the severed bud caught in it is a bit the worse for wear as well, but it makes for an interesting picture; and I think the bud to the right in the first picture has escaped devastation, at least.

IMG_4646The culprit causing all this damage is a little worm hidden in this foam.

 

IMG_4645IMG_4644IMG_4641But this bud and these blooms that will unfurl as soon as the sun is fully out seem to have escaped damage.

Hibiscus: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge 8/30/15

Hibiscus

Version 2I 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

IMG_4252This 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.
