Shades of Green . .

- midst the pink Seminole Hibiscus - Azaleas of fuschia - Bleeding Hearts (leaning across from D's yard) - a few petals of the Pinwheel Jasmine - Kalanchoe, green and also with a touch of color - hanging like unlit lanterns - brown cones - long slender ones are male of the Coontie Plant - member of the Cycad family - dinosauers/ancient one native to Florida - top left corner & bottom right .. think those are female cones - if so, they will have orange seeds in them - a toxic plant, it has been used by the Seminole Tribe for food - a long involved process to get starch from the root .. making flour - this plant is the only one I know of that the rare Atala Butterfly feeds on - so, one should plant quite a few - the larvae can strip the leaves quickly framing of the collage/crop/signature: www.picmonkey.com © All Rights Reserved

almost . .

- fully opened African Iris - just looked out the window - that one petal is outstretched - white - purple - gold - on very long stems - a self overlay done just off center - then, started playing - in iPiccy.com - not really sure all the features used - PaulO could probably tell me what I did - it was fun having overlays available - so many, including my own - this will take more study to figure out - all the nuances - should be a fun learning curve edited in: www.iPiccy.com © All Rights Reserved
