Foto Finish Look Up

Today's Foto Finish is "Look Up". How easy is that? I walked out my front door and took these pictures.


This is growing in a tree in my front garden, looks like something out of a horror movie doesn't it?


The flowers are huge and only bloom at night and are gone by morning, this one is already closing.  Sometimes that entire canopy is full of them, it is incredibly beautiful especially if the moon is bright and they glow.  The problem is we sometimes miss the entire show because we don't look up.

Thanks for stopping by,
Dana

  1. What an interesting tree. It caused me to look to see where you live. We visited Key Largo as a family several years back. It was one of our favorite places in Florida. Lucky you!

  4. Amazing - I have something that looks like a smaller version of this plant growing indoors in a pot. I thought my flowers were beautiful but they are tiny compared to this.

  5. It looks like a bromeliad like I used to have in Tampa....a long time ago. That is amazing and would make a great art quilt! Thanks for sharing.

  7. Wow! What an amazing pic and tree! I love seeing others 'perspectives' from different parts of the world. Blogs make the world a smaller place.
