Go HERE to see Cee’s flower of the day.
Bougainvillea
Unfortunately, this beauty is outside my wall on the front of my house where I really haven’t noticed it. This is my very favorite color of bougainvillea (bugambilias in Mexico) and it only stays orange like this when it is in bright sunlight for part of the day. When I planted it in Boulder Creek, CA, it always turned pink for lack of sunlight in the redwoods. I need to plant one in my back yard as well so I can see it every day.

This vibrant kalanchoe shares planter space with hen and chicks in my garden.

In late October, everything in Mexico is about MARIGOLDS and Dia de Los Muertos!!!!

This flowering crabapple tree was in my Niece’s front yard in Minnesota. You can see a fruit growing at the bottom, which surprises me as I didn’t know this was possible while it was still blooming.

This view is much-magnified. The bloom is very small.
Does anyone know what this vine is? I’ve been trying to grow it for years, but it remains sparse, even though the vine I snipped it off of for a starter was lush. I keep trying!

I took these pictures in my garden yesterday, before the rain.
This strange object that looks like a meteorite or piece of carved Cinnabar is actually a dahlia. I just edited and edited , using different filters and tools until this was the result. It is rather beautiful, I think, so I’m including it. I think it looks like two hooded women standing back-to-back. If you look closely, you can see the stamens in the center toward the top. They also look like the impression of a turtle.

Each of these zany beauties is an original –from gap-toothed teenagers to grandmothers in full bloom wearing corsages of pistils sprouting stamens each of which seems to be a full miniature flower in its own right. I took more pictures, but my computer seems to be rejecting all attempts to upload them, so sorry, Marilyn–I wanted to give you a full spectacular array, but fate is against us in this.
