Up Close and Personal: Hibiscus, FOTD Nov 25, 2018
I’ve been zeroing in on this hibiscus since I got home 5 days ago. This one is about as personal as I’m going to get! You can click on it to zero in a bit more.

Heart of an Orchid: Flower of the Day, Dec 10, 2017
To me, this looks like a woman in robes with her arms up, standing on the back of a flying dove. Her face gleams white under her cowl and her yellow heart is exposed

Pistil Packin’ Mama––Hibiscus: Flower of the Day, June 23, 2017
The stamens and pistils of the hibiscus are a little flower all their own..or a surreal little tree growing up out of the middle. I had some fun fiddling with the brightness and color balance. Which do you prefer?

WP Weekly Photo Challenge: Tiny
Squint your eyes and look in the sky above the left palm tree in the photo above. See the tiny branch sticking up from the top with a tinier knob on the end? That’s a bird. You can see it zoomed up to in the first photo of the mosaic of shots below, all of which depict the word “tiny” to various degrees. If you click on the first one, you, too, can zoom in on them.
Flower of the Day 2016, Apr. 9
Yesterday’s flower, tomorrow’s flowers. Now I wish I had blown on its head to scatter it far and yon.
There really is a flower named “Yesterday, today and tomorrow.” It lives for three days and changes the color of its flower each day, thus the name. This is not, however, the flower of that plant.

Thunbergia: Private Property–Flower of the Day Jan. 1, 2016
Thunbergia: Private Property
Since my flower bank was completely empty, I went out and took dozens of shots of different flowers today, but at I was going through them––cropping, sharpening, nudging this way and that––this is the one that most captured my interest. So, here it is––a photo so evocatively personal that I feel as though I’m invading the plant’s privacy in sharing it. This is a purple/blue Thunbergia Grandiflora undressed. Its petals have fallen to ground leaving other beauties exposed. Soon there will be a new bud for a new year that I wish you happiness in!!
