Today I’m sending out a small bouquet of two flowers as two very important people in my life were born on November 16. One is with me today and another has not been with us for 16 years, so the number 16 is especially significant today.

For my reclusive best friend, another reclusive little creature in a beautiful setting.  Happy Birthday, Dux!

And, for my mother Pat, who was a fellow night owl who loved exotics and who would have loved my night view of this hibiscus, I am sure, if she’d lived to see it.

Happy Birthday, Dux and Pat.  I love you both and think of you on your day!!!!

For Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge.
