My poetry group met today, and the wall next to us looked like this:

1. Are the red ones, Cardinal flowers?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I'd never seen them before, and I have no idea what they are!

They are very striking.

10. They look like cape honeysuckle to me, I've had a few of those over the years

[NullTuples]

20. My apologies, I didn't see your reply before I replied! (or I just took way too long)

21. No worries! Pleased to meet you over in the cape honeysuckle aisle. :)

Those and the bougainvillea are very common around here, I love them both but could do without the thorns in the bougainvillea!

[NullTuples]

13. I believe they are Cape Honeysuckle - Tecoma capensis

And the pale orange-salmon flowering ones are Bougainvillea.

3. Pretty..your garden or someone elses?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thanks! Nope, not my garden.

We have a community center downtown and this little garden is one part of it.

Our poetry group used to meet inside, but they want us to wear masks if we do, and we didn't want to. Everyone is vaxxed and so we meet outside! It was a pretty, sunny day.

5. That should inspire some haikus...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. And it would, my dear Wounded Bear, if I were any good at writing haikus!

Alas, I am not.

[JohnnyRingo]

6. That should have inspired.

Great host

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Thanks so much, my dear JohnnyRingo! I was truly in my element. ♥

And such a lovely setting as well! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog! ♥

It was really great. The warm sun, the colorful flowers on the fence, and my friends there to share it with.
