Flower of the Day, June 3, 2017
Why is this flower called a “copa de oro” even when it is purple instead of gold? Perhaps because of that deep heart that glows like a burning cauldron of gold at its center. These vines have grown to cover my jade plant and my studio. They seem in the one photo to be growing higher than the massive palms. Perhaps they are seeking to grow up to the sun that they imitate at their heart of hearts.

Hibiscus: Black and White Sunday and Cee’s Flower of the Day, May 28, 2017
The prompt was to publish a photo in both color and black and white. Luckily, I had just, on a whim, tried converting this hibiscus shot to black and white and was shocked to discover that I liked it better devoid of its gorgeous colors. Here is the site if you’d like to play along: https://bopaula.wordpress.com/2017/05/28/black-white-sunday-after-and-before-y1-05/
I’m also using this for Cee’s Flower of the Day challenge.
Flower of the Day: Garden Salad
A few times a year the leaf-cutter ants make a salad table out of my garden, stripping the bougainvillea, especially. Today they were busy outside my walls but so far they’ve left the new little bougainvillea bush alone.
