Honeysuckle: Flower of the Day, Sept 28, 2017
This flower is just making it entirely too easy and irresistible to pull off those blooms and suck. And yes, they were very very sweet.
Future sweetness.
Hibiscus and Hopper: Flower of the Day, Sept 27, 2017
I first spotted this little green fellow yesterday afternoon. He was just inspecting this lush hibiscus. He seems to have found his breakfast spot and so I went in to have mine as well.

When I next saw him it was 24 hours later. The Hibiscus does not seem the better for his attention. Below is his dining spot, somewhat depleted.

Shy Hibiscus: Flower of the Day, Sept 26, 2017
This beauty was down so low near to the grass that I might have missed it if it were not such a vibrant color.
In the Draw (Cosmos): Flower of the Day, Sept 25, 2017
At this time of the year, these golden cosmos fill the ditches, hillsides and draws near my house in a wild tangle.

Stages of Growth

A bud one day, a flower in two days more. Watching everything grow so quickly during the rainy season brings the miracles of nature constantly to mind. The kittens of three months ago are now nearly cats. The hibiscus of three days ago is now one more plaything strung out across the bedroom floor that is their playground. They bring in every one they find. I think they think they are little mice!

Night Studies, Hibiscus: Flower of the Day, Sept. 22, 2017
(Please enlarge all photos by clicking on the first one.)
When I came home last night, the street light was shining on this hibiscus a day past its prime. That might have been due to the rain, its age, or this tiny snail I didn’t even notice until I put these shots on my computer and zoomed in a bit. Playing around, I couldn’t decide on a favorite. At one point I turned on a wall lamp a few feet way from it, thus the different light plays. In some of the darker shots, either the moon or a street lamp can be seen through the trees. Interesting playing around with night shots. In some, I intended the grainy, painterly effect. Who would think I could take flower shots every day for years and still be endlessly fascinated? Not a professional. Just a very engrossed amateur. Thanks, Cee.
New Girl
I don’t think I’ve ever photographed this newest hibiscus in my family. It’s planted in a spot I don’t often visit, by the gate between the outside kitchen entrance and the back yard. When Pasiano left the gate open, letting the dogs into the kitty domain, I went to close it and discovered this somewhat splendiferous overblown beauty. It’s not what I would normally buy. Now I’m curious about my state of mind when I succumbed to its gaudy flashiness.
Another Flower, Another Bee: Flower of the Day, Sept. 20, 2017
The cannas just keep blooming and the bees just keep coming. Thankful for that.
