Tne Hot, the Loud and the Proud

The Common Sergeant butterfly loves the flowers of the Sanchezia nobilis. This plant is a native of Ecuador. It has bright green leaves with bold yellow markings, making it an ideal candidate for the Hot the Loud and the Proud meme.

Now that spring is here, the white Amaryllis flowers have started putting out their huge trumpets.

The red Amaryllis flowers twice here, once in spring and once in autumn.

The orange blooms of the Crossandra are very light. They are strung into garlands and girls wear them in their hair. These flowers are a must in Goanese weddings. In the garden, they attract plenty of pollinators and every flower turns into a seed!

On the last day of every month, you can see tropical plants and flowers from all over the world in The Hot, the Loud and the Proud, hosted by Noel in Hawaii.
