Hello everyone! Flowers always manage to catch my attention, so I hope I caught yours too! 😂
This beauty is called the "Joanne Hibiscus". It's a little different from the other hibiscus flowers because it has more petals. Normal hibiscus flowers usually have five petals, while this one has...1...2....3...10? Forget it.
This is the Bougainvilla flower, my mothers' favorite flower. she told me that she found this flower when she was visiting Martinique, (Martinique is an island in France) and just fell in love with it. :) Bougainvilla comes in many colors like...
deeeeeeeep breaaaath
pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow.
That's a lot of colors just for one flower! It's like nature's rainbow!
but aren't rainbows...nature's rainbows?
shh, we don't talk about that.
This is the "Christ Thorn Flower". I wouldn't pluck some if I were you, as you already read, the word "thorn" is in the name, I guess it's kinda self-explanatory.
Thanks to my observant eyes, these flowers bear fruit. It's not a perfectly round sphere, but a little bit of an oval shape. It makes really sticky sap, but I have to say, the fruit is not the worst thing in the world, it's chalky, but sweet. So if you were desperate, you might have another option.

That's what the fruit looks like.

I love it when people do this, it feels so welcoming and inviting. Best part, this...arch...whatever you want to call it, is a mix of two types of flowers. I think it's Bougainvilla, with another vine I can't really name, maybe you can tell me. It would help a lot!
They just turned off the sprinklers, so it added those really pretty water droplets. I have no idea how I managed to get the image such a high quality.
That's it for this post, see you next time!
