These little succulent flowers are tiny, so it is easy to overlook them.
Here’s Cee’s saucy little number for the day.

Going to Seed: Flower of the Day–Sept 30, 2017
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.
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!

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.
Thunbergia: Flower of the Day, Sept 19, 2017.
I was late to the awards luncheon because I had to stop and take these photos of the wild tangle of tiny orange thunbergia winding around the bird of paradise plant. Please, Pasiano, don’t trim them away. I love the jungle look. These ladies help to create it.
