The "Adding Some Color to Your World" Story

It was an ordinary day. Watching some of the background photos appear on my computer and then being replaced with new ones every so often. Photos that I have taken with my digital camera for the last 10 years or more. Have about 40 or more that my computer rotates through and then displays them again for me to admire. Ah, there's one of a Hawaiian Protea flower. The stunning Hawaiian Protea plant is unlike any tropical flower you've ever seen. So exotic and unusual, it was named after a Greek god, Proteus, who could change his physical appearance on a whim. I have two of those plants on the screen saver as well as quite a few more. With a little help from Carol I was able to ID all of the Hawaiian flowers and share them with you. With the hot weather and no rain, most of the flowers in our neighborhood, as maybe your's, have dried up and wilted, and you may be in the mood for some color in your day. Enjoy. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.

The very large and colorful Protea Flower

And, another variety

Gingers are one of the most beautiful and colorful flowers in the world of flowers

The Hibiscus has five leaves and comes in more than a dozen dazzling colors

Another one of the many colors

And yet another one

The Bird of Paradise is one of my favorites

Another variety of the Bird of Paradise

Really fragrant scent comes from this Plumeria flower

The very bright colored Bougainvillea Plant
