Well, it's that time of the year. This plant blooms once a year and the bloom hangs around for only 5-6 days. I just hope I can sneak this one by old eagle-eye Randy before he catches me shooting a flower.....kind of a private joke.

That's one pretty bloom. Bet Randy will see it too

That's beautiful Tom

Lovely flower well documented. Say, didn't you document this plants bloom status last year about this time I do believe Randy understands yearly rituals and will cut you some slack

Thanks for the visit, Mary. Yes, I'm sure Randy will se it and probably really work me over.

Hi Michael,

Yep, you're right. I shot this same plant this time last year. I figure that's the least I can do since it goes a full year between blooms and strutting its stuff.

I don't trust Randy as to cutting me some slack. I've drug out all my old leather motorcycle riding gear. When he starts to flailing me, it might not hurt too much.

Now that's just plum mean to think that I'm not in-tune to an annual event

So, here is my annual response:

Mamby Pamby flowers

Damn, it's bad enough I got caught....but what's really got me stressed out is the fact that the flogging started to feel good.
