Default Let me brighten your grey cold days

I have been nurturing this fangipani for years, I grow it in a pot so I can move it about according to the weather. It has never flowered before, and I knew it was a pink one but I had no idea how strong the colour would be, so in the middle of my depressing drought this flower put a smile on my face.

Frangipani-1

it is beautiful

Frangipani-2

this is one of the first pictures I took with my DSLR.

Frangipani-3

to change the topic, how far can .50c go? a long, long way when mummy bought you a lolly and you're only two.

Some things are good.-1

The 1st 3 are wonderful colors and presentations but that last you have managed to capture the rare Blooming Chocolate face which is priceless

Your flowers are just beautiful, love the 2nd and 3rd shots, and the last one is just hilarious, gotta love them kids. No care in the world when it comes to the sweets.

Gorgeous flower images Michele, I think the 2nd is my favorite, but they're all beautifully composed. And the little guy is hilarious!

Beautiful shots of the flowers - the white/yellow flowers are quite interesting in the outer edges of their petals. And oh to dive into chocolate again without a care in the world! Adorable boy

Such beautiful relief from your drought...and why now? While we may not be able to fool Mother Nature she, apparently, loves to play with you a little bit! Beautiful. I love the plumeria, too. And, of course, as Brendan so aptly named, your rare Blooming Chocolate. What a refreshing set!

what a sunning beautiful colour. I have had a frangipani too that flowered for the first time last year after about 25 years! They really are beautiful. I saw some in Asia that were huge and covered with flowers. Really stunning.

Michelle, thats the only way to eat a chocolate lolly, and I wish I could be a little more sophisticated when I eat one, but unfortunately I still tend to look like this by the time I've finished it! Thanks for a great laugh. We all enjoyed viewing here in my house. PAUL
