Water hyacinth

Only one photo for today but it is a special one from my garden. This water hyacinth called to me to have its picture taken at dusk after a gentle rain, it is my photo of the day! Happy 4th of July!

Plumeria "Spice"

Pretty in pink, Plumeria "spice" from my garden.

Begonia

I could not resist a shot of this plain begonia so beautifully framed by the shadows and spotlighted by the sun!

Hibiscus yellow

.

One of my favorite hibiscus flowers. The plant was a gift from my mother -in-law almost 40 years ago. It has withstood being dug and replanted every time we have moved - it took it all in stride!
