These little beauties just keep on blooming, but unfortunately the leaves don’t fare so well!  love the seed pods, though.

Zinnias Curtailed: Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Flowers

Zinnias Curtailed: Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Flowers

Okay, Zinnias again, but this time in black and white! I think this last clump of zinnias look like they have been captured in moonlight.

Version 5 Version 15I was going for an artificial effect here, and I think it works.  They look waxy and stiff to my eye.

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.)

Orange Thunbergia: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge

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!

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.

Cee’s Flower of the Day, 8/12/15

Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge 8/12/15
Today I just wanted to play with a detail of one rather wilted Thunbergia blossom that I snapped a picture of.  I just wanted to use it in a painterly way to see how far the image could be stretched. I’m rather limited in my editing choices, but it was fun.
