Well, aren't you having a ball! Taking a fun day out to observe? Love it and love the pictures. Thanks.....the red flower of the powder puff plant is exactly the same as the bottle brush plant/tree, I think. At least, they're related and yours looks the same size plant as mine in a pot. I love it. It and the shrimp plant I have near-by do attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

Yes, that is an amaryllis. Beautiful isn't it? I have lots of them around my place, in our public median/area and around my condo. I went out and grabbed a lot of bulbs when the pavement was redone and they were gettting thrown away!!! I was horrified, so hobbled out with my walker like a crazy little old lady and picked up as many as possible. Now, they're growing on my patio and on the side of my front area. I love the plant itself and the flower is lovely, if too short lived.

Enjoy the day, my friend, and all the pretties. Blessings on this lovely day. elizabeth
