I love the seed pod of this flower almost as much as I love the bloom. Here they are together. The story behind its name is very interesting. You can read it HERE.

This single naked lady popped up in my front garden opposite the kitchen door. Sometimes single things stand out more distinctly than a cluster.

This sculpture is made from stone slabs a sculptor friend purchased to carve. You can see the holes drilled to split the stone, but I loved the individual pieces assembled as they are. They now form this “bench” that holds a planter near my hot tub and pool. It contains succulents, lobelia, gardenias and I believe gazanias that perhaps have been crowded out since planting a few years ago. The bougainvillea is a visitor from the huge bush behind it. There’s some Virginia Creeper reaching its fingers into the pot as well as a lopsided solar light.

We’ve cleared away a good deal of the “jungle” in front of my house, but are busy planting other plants to replace it, including this Heliconia which now sports four blooms. This is the newest one.
