{Clerodendrum Ugandense - Blue Butterfly Bush}

On November 11, I could make this photo from our Clerodendrum Ugandese - Blue Butterfly Bush and also called Blue Glorybower. A gem from Logee's that we do treasure.
While making this photo, I got bitten by a legion of fire ants... 
But still I was pleased with this photo.
In-between the rain we had, some beauty!

Happy weekend!

  2. Hello Mariette, Too bad about the fire ants--my mother lived in Florida for a time, and the fire ants were a terrible problem.

    Hope you get your computer problems solved--another kind of nuisance!

  17. Devi essere circondata da piante e fiori stupendi dove vivi. Al di là della pioggia, e del morso (se ho capito bene) che hai avuto, sei stata straordinaria a fare uno scatto così splendido! Pare quasi di toccarlo questo fiore. Un abbraccio. Paola
