I stopped the car and parked to get photos of this beautiful tabachine bush. It was in front of a house in the Raquet Club where I live! I have one like it but not as fully bushed out.

Durante Erecta (Sky Flower): FOTD Apr 9, 2019
Thanks to “someone” (no name given) I know the name of this lanky little flowering bush that was hidden among the denser branches and leaves of my royal poinciana. It is a druante erecta or sky flower!
Tabachine: Flower of the Day, June 16, 2018
This tabachine bush near my studio was swarming with fluttering black butterflies, but they moved so quickly that I couldn’t get a shot. I have a video of them taken a few years ago, and it is like a ballet—their graceful swooping, bending and departing.

More Bougainvillea: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge, May 2, 2016
These are the bougainvilleas that are flourishing beneath the royal poinciana tree this year. I can see the ants carrying away the petals that have fallen on the cobblestones. I’d like to believe they’ve been blown down, but there are probably trusty cutter ants up above, using their incisors to lop off the leaves and petals. If I don’t do something to wage a war, the bushes and tree will be stripped in a week. Hate to do it, but this really is war against the cutter ants.
