Foto Finish - Flowers

The optional theme for this weeks Foto Finish at Cat Patches is flowers.

The hardest part of this one is deciding which flowers to post. Out of one window, I have beautiful bougainvillea


On two sides of the house I have hibiscus


And then there are the ever present impatiens


But the clear winner is this guy who decided to bloom just in time for this Foto Finish


I love my orchids. I lost a lot of them in a freeze two years ago, so the survivors are really special to me.

Don't be jealous, we will be in the high 80's next week, the mosquito plane is already flying and I had a centipede crawl across my toes, sure signs that summer is going to be long and hot. 

Thanks for stopping by,
Dana

  2. Your orchids are luscious! I had several when we lived in Tampa, but they did not travel well to SC. Do miss them. Great photos.

  5. Oh lovely flowers, I'm especially found of Orchids as well. We've been enjoying temps around 75 lately and I've found that's just perfect. Windows open, a nice breeze. I was able to turn off my a/c to enjoy this.
