Curacao Wildflowers

Hi friends, by request this evening we have some Curacao Wildflowers for your viewing pleasure.  Today was pretty much non-stop rain but in-between downpours I rushed outside to photograph a few of the flowers.  From left to right, 1st we have Antigonon leptopus, Coral Vine, Bride’s Tears, 2nd is called Jatropha gossypiifolia, Wild Physic Nut, Belly Ache Bush, 3rd I need help finding a name, (sorry) and the 4th is called Datura metel, Prickly Burr, Devil’s Trumpet.  I shot these in the field behind the new Dolphin Suites Hotel at the Sea Aquarium.  Today I spotted at least 30 different little flowers that have popped up out of nowhere from all this rain and I bet tomorrow there will be even more as it’s still coming down.  I did manage to get the dogs out for a two hour walk in the mud from 4:30-6:30, it was so humid but at least we were able to get out and do something.  I carried a rake with me tonight and ended up cleaning up some of the trails that got used in last weeks big race, if I don’t do it no one will and besides it’s good exercise.  Not much to report today, it’s rainy and very quiet, it was a nice relaxing day!

 
Thanks again for all the great notes we loving hearing from you!  Off to bed, Barry
