The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 228. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Another post based on the theme of this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge, which is ‘Silence.’
I like to visit Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden a few times a year. The last time I was there, I got the last spot in the parking lot and expected to spend the morning elbowing my way through crowds. Imagine my surprise when I set out on the path into the garden and found it deserted. No one going down ahead of me, no one puffing their way up either. For a few minutes it was just me and a profusion of tropical plants, one of which was this Billbergia pyramidalis.
Billbergia pyramidalis is a bromeliad, also known as ‘Flaming torch.’ I wonder why?
