Old Wall, New Flower
(Click on flowers to increase size of photos.)
When we cut back the huge wall of greenery against the wall, it revealed the need for a new paint job, but our view of Mt. Garcia was restored. I had forgotten that I even had a view of it from the ground floor. This beautiful hibiscus then photobombed the view, but we don’t mind.

I have been trying to photograph these Russelia plant blooms for twenty years now and I still haven’t been able to get a good shot. I don’t know why neither the focus or color ever come out good, no matter what time of the day I take them. I’m showing these photos mainly because I loved the O shaped dried vine that had caught in the plant. It just seemed to convey a message! I won’t label it as “The Story of O” as that isn’t quite the message I want to convey.

This hibiscus is one of the newest that I planted about a year ago. For some reason, it grew on a single stalk that grew so long that the flower is far over my head The first front-on photo I could take only by reaching up and bending the stalk over so I could photograph it. That’s my arm you see down below that looks like a stalk. For the others, I had to hold the camera over my head.
