Hearts and on flowers for Valentine's week
Penta plants are blooming now in the Butterfly Gardens at
Manatee Park in Fort Myers
It was fun to see the little heart shapes since we visited the park just before Valentine's Day.
Linked to I HEART MACRO thanks to Laura and to
TODAY'S FLOWERS with thanks to Denise.
Those colors just “pop” out, don’t they? What a pleasant flower to see with Valentine’s Day.
I think you are a few weeks ahead of us re Spring…it’s been really cold and damp here. But today it’s almost 80 and sunny and things are drying out. This is a great flower for VD (that’s Valentine’s Day!). 🙂
So very, very beautiful! I never saw this plant before now. Thank you.
WOW! I’ve never seen those before! How cool is that!

Valentine colours and lovely blooms. I have them growing but they are hard to photograph without the red running. You did a good job.
Beautiful bright clear red! Nothing cheerier – a lovely post for February and Valentine’s day when we are all yearning for blooms and blossoms…
Thanks for the red flowers! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine. Thanks for your visit and comment. I am no longer in Australia. Those photos on the beach were in 2008 and the photos in the restaurant in December 2013. My daughter left 17 December for Australia and I went with her. I returned on 23 rd January. Fortunately I was soon recovered from my jetlag.
Love that red – it really pops!
So pretty. I’m looking at my bouquet right now.
Nice looking flowers.
I have received more positive comments about my “pelican” post than I expected – maybe I made it clear I thought it was important to see things like this and the negatives stayed away!

I’m popping back to thank you for your comments. I appreciated your kind words and I’m glad to have gotten to know you too. One of my favorite things about blogging is to get to know people I probably would never have “met” in another way.
That is awesome – a perfect Valentines Day flower and post!
Wow! They really are red!!
