Flowers from Barbados

 The Pride of Barbados Caesalpinia pulcherrima is usually orange or yellow. I came across this pink flowering dwarf poinciana in a garden in Mysore. These plants need very little water and survive harsh summers. They flower throughout the year and attract butterflies and bees.The seedpods are food for some catterpillars.
The sweet little flowers of the Jacquemontia pentathos are an attractive sky blue colour. Like the Caesalpinia, this is also a native of Barbados, naturalized here.
My thanks to Nick for hosting his delightful meme Floral Friday.

    That is a beautiful variety of the Caesalpinia. I love the colour of the Jacquemontia too.

    I 'love' your pink Pride of Barbados, I have yellow in the dwarf size.

    The Jacquemontia is a wonderful shade of blue too.

    Wow! That shade in the Pride of Barbados is not common here. I've only seen the orange/yellow ones. Lovely shot of the cluster vine.

    Last but not least, it's time to take a look at Alexa Rankings for Just - Say - Hi. Just - Say - Hi's global
    reach has gone up 231% in the past three months. If giving orders is what turns you on, ask the camgirl if she would be comfortable doing it.

The value of Phen375 is much higher in terms of ingredients used for making it. This is important query that you will want to answer,as many weight management capsules are designed to suppress your appetite.
