Flora

April, and my mother's lilies are in full bloom. The brightness
of the blooms never failed to lift my spirits somewhat.










Wildflowers abound on the edge of roads. These plants have tiny
blue flowers but I've never found out what they're called.



An early morning shot of Angel Trumpets blooming in profusion.
The roadsides were more interesting because of the variety of
wild blooms.



Poinsettias planted on the edge of the road but now neglected.
They could well keep blooming through May.





I counted four varieties of Ipomoea on fences, trees and walls.
This variety, Blue Dawn Flower, looks spectacular because of its
vibrant colours.





A white variety I'd never noticed before.



Here's one with pinkish hues. Shot early in the morning.


Wild sunflowers in abundance on roadsides.


Look at that yellow!



The most common orchids on the trees of my hometown. The sun
was no longer strong as I tried to capture the yellow cluster
on this tall tree.



All the photos were taken on the route between home and hospital.
April brought its showers and blooms in abundance. Another month
will have its share of nature's bounty, maybe in forms and colours
totally different from what you have just seen.
