Beautiful but deadly. I’ve just discovered that the peace lily is highly toxic to dogs and cats, so sadly, it must go. Also a good idea not to have it around small children!

Thank you Cee for giving me an excuse to go into my garden and look closely at everything I might otherwise overlook. I had no idea that my Royal Poinciana was blooming so beautifully , nor that my bougainvillea had grown up to intertwine with it. I took a few dozen shots of things I would have missed out on if I hadn’t decided to do your daily flower prompt. I know how many hours a day you must devote to your prompts and connecting with each person who enters your challenges. I’m sure others must feel as I do. It is nice to have a prod to exit our computer screens and to get out to commune with nature.
This Spanish Dancer Hibiscus has been giving me luxurious and gorgeous new blooms every day for weeks. I stopped taking photos of them because I’ve photographed them a number of times before, but today I just had to record their beauty one more time. This closeup was one of my favorites. You’ll see others in the days to come.

Another one I used to know the name of but no longer do. If anyone does, I’ll add the name if you clue me in. So little time.. so many unidentified plants! I loved the sky as much as I did the flowers on this day…I may paint my house this color!
Do not miss seeing this flower as well. It is stunning!!! https://ceenphotography.com/2016/04/23/flower-of-the-day-april-24-2016-bearded-iris/
The real flower of the bougainvillea is usually outshone by its brilliantly colored leaves. Here the flower gets its due–center stage–while the flashy leaves retreat into the darkness.

I photographed these flowers at the lovely Chantli Mare Beach Hotel near La Manzanilla. I used to grow them in California and I believe they are pentas star flowers.

Nope. No idea what it is…..

These lilies just about got away from me, since they are on a side of the house where I rarely go, but my houseguest clued me in to their existence and I caught them just past their prime.
