Hibiscus with Worst House Guest Scenario: Flower of the Day, 9/3/15

Hibiscus with Worst House Guest Scenario

IMG_4022

Version 4 IMG_4021 (2) Some leaf predator has been busy on this hibiscus leaf, and the severed bud caught in it is a bit the worse for wear as well, but it makes for an interesting picture; and I think the bud to the right in the first picture has escaped devastation, at least.

IMG_4646The culprit causing all this damage is a little worm hidden in this foam.

 

IMG_4645IMG_4644IMG_4641But this bud and these blooms that will unfurl as soon as the sun is fully out seem to have escaped damage.

Orange Bougainvillea: Cee’s Flower of the Day, 8/27/15

IMG_4252This is my very favorite color of bougainvillea.  It changes in color within the same plant from pinkish to orange to gold.  I believe it depends on the amount of sunlight it gets, but I haven’t really researched it so that is opinion only.

Here’s a closeup view of the  wonderful flowers of the Silk Floss Tree.   It is  ceiba speciosa- such an interesting tree that I’m going to do another posting on it, showing its trunk and large seed pods as well.)

Orange Thunbergia: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge

Hard to believe that yes, this, too, is a thunbergia! I bought this plant years ago and had Pasiano plant it, but it was invisible–obscured by bougainvillea  and ferns.  I thought it had died out long ago, then yesterday I saw it  rising up from the thick undergrowth and twining up this wire at the entrance to my house.  Perfect!
