| Little Blue Heron There is a resemblance, yes? Also, the heron's beak is iridescent. |
The delicate, effusive bougainvillea.
Palmetto patterns, spikes, fronds.
All found in Florida.
It (nature...glorious... infinite...) makes me giddy.

Your beautiful pictures remind me of my trip for southern area, Okinawa. Bird of Paradise looks really some bird in the heaven. Good naming, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect name--such an astonishing flower!
DeleteHello Jen, I was always impressed with the tropical beauty of Florida when I went there, but somehow the northern temperate regions are more ingrained in me. Winters, however, were very easy to give up.

I feel the same way!
DeleteI was so excited to see the bird of paradise plants. I missed out on bouganville though and the warm.
ReplyDeleteNext time let's go visit Helen Tilston!
xo Jane
It was windy and chilly my first day--not what I expect from FL. Yes to Helen! And maybe some good Cuban food and music...
Deleteoh your photos make me long for Spring, Jen!
ReplyDeleteBougainvilleas are gorgeous, aren't they?
love xoxox
I love the way the little white flower lives inside the showy, colorful leaves.
DeleteAaaahhh more bougainvillea and the bird of paradise does look the blue heron. Hmm, who's imitating who? Anytime you want good Cuban food and music just drop by, it's the norm around here.
