White Bougainvillea: Flower of the Day, Jan 7, 2018
White bougainvilleas are so rare that I had to stop to shoot this one. Click on photos to enlarge.

This is #2 in a series of shots taken of one kalanchoe plant–all on the same day. It seemed to have at least 4 phases of budding to full flower all occurring at the same time. Go HERE to see the first shot of the portion of the plant in full bloom. Hard to believe these are all stages of the exact same flower.

You might have guessed from the title that this is the first of a series taken of this remarkably varied plant. This and all of the upcoming photos were taken at the same time of the same plant. Keep tuned to this blog for upcoming kalanchoe adventures.

January 1, 2018 dawned sunny and warm. This hibiscus opened to a new year. Happy New Year to all.

The last day of the year, last flower of the year. This is my very favorite color of bougainvillea. Pasiano had just watered and by chance I caught it at the right moment.

Every morning, a new surprise! jdbphoto
For Cee’s Flower Prompt. Her amazing tulips are HERE.

The scientific name of this tree, native to southern Mexico, is as surreal as the bloom. it is pseudobombax ellipticium! More commonly known as the shaving brush tree.
