The flower is a durante erecta or sky flower, and I want to thank this lovely white butterfly for making this photo! I am trying to crop according to Nancy’s rule of thirds, but there is a problem. What should be the focus of interest—the butterfly or the flower? Which photo do you like best, top or bottom?
For Nancy Merrill’s Rule of Thirds prompt.

This little hibiscus bush right next to my kitchen door is very faithful in providing a bloom at a time. Nice to be greeted to this surprise most days when I go out to feed the cats. It is a Spanish Dancer. Love the bloom and love the name.

These gorgeous blue dahlias were just part of the centerpiece at neighbors Sergio and David’s sumptuous Easter brunch.

The aloe are in full bloom now, and the bees are taking full advantage. They tunnel down into the blooms until their entire bodies are obscured, then back out covered in pollen. They are absolutely drunk on nectar, or so it seems, and as determined as Morrie when he in in ball-fetching mode.

Thanks to “someone” (no name given) I know the name of this lanky little flowering bush that was hidden among the denser branches and leaves of my royal poinciana. It is a druante erecta or sky flower!
