This tabachine bush was covered with butterflies, but they are almost impossible to photograph. They are constantly lighting for a few seconds and then flying off, circling, lighting––but never long enough to get much more than a blue. I felt fortunate to get one good shot.

I can’t get enough of these Spanish Dancer Hibiscus. There is a new one every few days on the bush I have to pass to get to my garage.
The above photo was taken two days ago. Today, this is what it looks like:
The Spanish dancer has folded her skirts.

This is the tree I asked Pasiano to cut down twice six months ago, when it was in its messy dormant stage where it was dropping all its leaves to stand ugly and gray beside the pool. I guess I’m glad he didn’t, but may change my mind when it is once again flowerless and leafless!

I love this Indian Shot flower in its two stages of going to seed.
I did a second posting for “Flower of the Day” today because I wanted to show the flower of this seed pod for those who have never seen it. I took this one yesterday, but today just one flower had opened up so I did a new shoot! Go here to see it:

You must see Cee’s pinstriped Iris. Definitely best of show: https://ceenphotography.com/2016/05/29/flower-of-the-day-may-30-2016-iris/
I couldn’t reisist three more shots of the “Lluvia de Oro” or Golden Shower Tree. The sun was right today and they are so exotic up close.

This little flower, tiny and non-assuming, deserved a makeover. I’ll try to reclaim her “before photo” in a minute and share it with you, as well.
Poor little thing. Tiny, out of focus, a bit shriveled up, hidden by denser foliage. I’ll try to do better by her tomorrow.
