Birds and Breath: Flower of the Day, May 5, 2016
Birds of Paradise share center table with baby’s breath and the first papaya of the new tree. Unfortunately, these papayas are not as flavorful and sweet as the papayas were from our last tree. Hope they improve with age.

Royal Poinciana Trees: Sunday Trees and Cee’s Flower of the Day
Royal Poinciana Trees (Flamboyan or Flame Trees)
I posted closeups and flower clusters of this tree for the past two days and now here is the tree itself. I couldn’t decide which pic I liked the best so I chose a few. I love this tree. Messy but gorgeous. Last year the leaf cutter ants pretty much ate all the leaves and flowers but this year it bloomed in all its glory.

Royal Poinciana Clusters: Flower of the Day, Apr 30, 2016
Yesterday I showed individual Royal Poinciana flowers. Today I’m showing clusters and tomorrow I’ll show the entire tree. Some say the African Tulip tree is the most beautiful flowering tree on earth, but I say the Royal Poinciana is.

Hibiscus Closeup: Flower of the Day 4/27/2016
Thank you Cee for giving me an excuse to go into my garden and look closely at everything I might otherwise overlook. I had no idea that my Royal Poinciana was blooming so beautifully , nor that my bougainvillea had grown up to intertwine with it. I took a few dozen shots of things I would have missed out on if I hadn’t decided to do your daily flower prompt. I know how many hours a day you must devote to your prompts and connecting with each person who enters your challenges. I’m sure others must feel as I do. It is nice to have a prod to exit our computer screens and to get out to commune with nature.
This Spanish Dancer Hibiscus has been giving me luxurious and gorgeous new blooms every day for weeks. I stopped taking photos of them because I’ve photographed them a number of times before, but today I just had to record their beauty one more time. This closeup was one of my favorites. You’ll see others in the days to come.

Bougainvillea: Flower of the Day 2016/4/21
The real flower of the bougainvillea is usually outshone by its brilliantly colored leaves. Here the flower gets its due–center stage–while the flashy leaves retreat into the darkness.

Amaryllis Lilies: Flower of the Day, Apr. 16, 2016
These lilies just about got away from me, since they are on a side of the house where I rarely go, but my houseguest clued me in to their existence and I caught them just past their prime.
