Mum’s the Word?
The gift is nice, I must admit. I really do adore it,
and yet there is one factor that prompts me to abhor it.
It might be a mum or on the other hand, a daisy––
and going back and forth between the two just drives me crazy.
I know it’s not a marigold and not a pink carnation,
but lack of knowing what it is gives rise to consternation!

With so few flowers to photograph here, I’m still relying on photos I took on Valentine’s day.

Euphorbia Milii: Flower of the Day
Heliconia
This arrangement was done inside a coconut by a flower vendor who sets up in the street right across from the house I rent at the beach. I bought one to take to the the hostess of a party but had to buy one for myself as well. I added the tiny coconut “plug” to hide the watering hole.

Fuchsia
I had run down the street for two blocks in a long beach coverup quickly thrown over my nightgown when I heard the crazy rodeo parade approaching my house at 11 o’clock at night. The night before it had gone on from about 7:30 to at least 2 a.m. when I went to bed. I’d somehow missed it going by when I was dancing at Palapa Joe’s so I didn’t want to miss it tonight. I was walking back home when I spied these little flowers and I kept bending lower to get them in more detail. When I looked up I saw this BIG guy who must have been the cook in the palapa restaurant I was standing in front of, taking the picture. He was sitting in a straight chair in the parking lot—probably out to catch a spare breeze as the night was still hot. “You can see beauty in a single flower?” he asked me. When I nodded my head and said, “Mmhmm,” he just smiled and nodded his head. Such a nice little interchange and nice final human contact for the day.
More about my day will follow.

Canna Lilies
I actually found this photo while hunting for a fern picture. Guess this qualifies as both.

That’s Just Cheating!
Yes, sure. I’ve done a lot of playing around with this image but I don’t consider that cheating, do you? So what could it be that I’ve done that is slightly unethical?
If it isn’t perfectly obvious from this unedited original shot,
then perhaps it will be in this closeup. Honest, folks, I didn’t notice when I took the original shot. I was working fast and just going up and down the street taking shots of flowers. It wasn’t until I got into the eidting phase that I notice what was wrong with this particular bunch of flowers!!! Cee’s said it before. I need to slow down. Perhaps after the art walk!
