Every once in a while by Bird of Paradise plants produce conjoined twins. This one hangs out by my studio wall. Click on photo to enlarge.

Echeveria Crimson Tide, Jan 12, 2024
Even though Cee is taking a break, there is no rest for the wicked so it has been decreed that I have to keep posting a flower a day until she comes back… and then continue for forever!!! This Echeveria Crimson Tide, although not a flower, is as pretty as one and the bonus is that it actually is flowering!

Cee is taking a break but I’m addicted to publishing a flower a day, so here I go unprompted!
In Mexico, poinsettias don’t know they are just Xmas decorations. Mine is actually flourishing more now than during the holidays.

This gorgeous bloom was a surprise popup in a planter near the hot tub and pool. Evidently planted in a past year, it thankfully reemerged this year.

I love the bizarre beauty of this Royal Poinciana. Sadly, the tree had to be removed due to root rot, but I’ve planted another. Only 22 more years to go until it equals this one!!!
If you are curious about what the tree looks like, here are three previous blogs that show the entire tree, including mine:
