Thank you all
for the wonderful
comments, accolades
and votes of approval.
This Pacific Coast Hybrid tolerates fairly dry conditions.
It is an understated little beauty growing only 18 inches tall (50cm).
Detail shot of Pavilion House, Scarborough, North Yorkshire.
This handsome 1970s building replaced the much loved Pavilion Hotel, demolished in 1973.
I get the impression that Pavilion House has never been popular. It has been voted by the people of Scarborough as the town's ugliest building.
Plans have been put forward to remove the concrete facade and replace it with full height windows.
I understand that the building was designed by Robert Matthew, Johnson Marshall.

Detail of the Torre Glòries residential building in the Poblenou district of Barcelona. It was originally known as Torre Agbar and it was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel in association with the Spanish firm 'b720 FermÃn Vázquez Arquitectos'. The builders were Dragados.

Somehow I bypassed this simple, single rose in favour of more colourful blooms but I think that sometimes, less is more.
I've been working on my original shot from this set on Wastwater and thought I might give this one a go! I like the fact that you can see the mother's face and the splash as the paddle hits the water! The canoe's wake spoils the reflection a little and it's central position is not the best for composition but I like it!
Yes, this unusual flower is called Hot Lips!
There are over 2,000 species of Psychotria, the genus under which Hot Lips falls. Where does Hot Lips grow? Psychotria elata is part of the tropical rainforest understory flora of the Americas. It is a unique plant with uninteresting flowers but fabulous lip-like bracts. The plant can be difficult to grow and has very special cultivation conditions.
Hot lips grows as a shrub or small tree. The plant has deeply veined simple leaves of matte green. The flower is actually a pair of modified leaves that pout around the tiny star-like white to cream flowers. These become small bluish-black berries. The plant is very attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.

Plants have to be pretty hardy to survive the hot dry air of California summer weather. Jade plants rank right up at the top as being up to the task. I have had this plant for 40 years.

Does everyone remember the simple joys of childhood like playing in the mud and water? I watched this child playing in the mud on the banks of the Mekong River downstream from Luang Prabang, Laos, for many minutes while he remained oblivious of everything but his 'engineering' job. His dynamic pose suggested to me that, while enjoying the mud, he was being careful not to get his clothes dirty.
