Tiger Lily

Tiger Lily
A tiger lily blossom is much like the face of a bird – overlapping petals or feathers surround the center or eye. Colors are intense or even more so than a parrot. This painting has blown the blossom up beyond big yet even the limits of the canvas cannot contain the entire flower. Fun and bold just as a tiger lily should be.

Trupial Brunch

The trupial as a regular garden visitor flashes a bright yellow and black but only up close can you see the dab of blue eye shadow.

The traditional Bonairean kadushi cactus fence made from straight tips cut and interlocked against a wire fence. If done with skill, the cactus pieces take root and the fence becomes a living and growing thing. The cactuses flower and produce fruit creating the perfect brunch line for a pair of trupials. Many other birds and animals will join the buffet line like our native prikichis and even fruit bats.

Yellow Flowers

To see the flowers for the bush. The yellow flowers dotted the crest of this large massing plant from a distance, it seemed covered by a frosting of yellow. Pretty as they are I have not found out yet what kind of bush this is.

Note since my initial description: It has been suggested that this might be related to a campanulata, or a spathodea.

Kibrahacha

The blossoming of the Kibrahacha (Yellow Poui) celebrates the first showers of the short rainy season with a sudden burst of yellow. Patches of brilliant color dot the landscape anticipating the first signs of green to replace the browns of the drought.
