Went to buy more poinsettias, which I did. And more ferns. But, couldn’t resist this hibiscus as well. Patti and Marti encouraged me!

This lovely bloomed just in time to greet my friends who are visiting for Christmas:
Not quite fully opened today. Either it was at its prime yesterday, or the sun hasn’t hit it fully yet. Looks like a filly skirt!
See Cee’s unusual poinsettia HERE.
I put a number of these flowers made from egg cartons on my tree. Fun project and almost any type of flower can be made. Click on first photo to enlarge both.

Doesn’t look much like a hibiscus to you? It is a macro of the center of the calyx after the flower has withered and fallen off. It was just so intriguing to me that I had to post it. It reminds me of something, but I can’t quite put my mind’s finger on what it is.

Cee gave me her approval to post one more posting of thunbergias. Close-ups this time. Then I promise not to show any more for a very long time.
(Click on first photo to enlarge both.)
These are my two favorite shots ot the day, although I have others you might see in the far future!
For Cee’s Flower of the Day prompt.
As I explained yesterday, I planted one little thunbergia vine to the far right of this photo a few years ago. Now where are they? (Click on first photo to enlarge and read captions.)
Somehow, they’ve jumped both the wall and the sidewalk and are twining around just about everything. All of these fellows are on far left of the first photo, and on the other side of the sidewalk from the original location of the vine
As Cee goes obsessive regarding poinsettias, I’m using it as an excuse to obsess over thunbergia.
I just can’t resist more photos of this Spanish Dancer Hibiscus. New girl in town every morning! Click to enlarge.
