As a wedding that I attended last week is still fresh in my mind, when I saw my blue Plumbago in bloom, I recall a rhyme that goes like this...
Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue,
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.
According to traditional British custom, the four "somethings" mentioned are meant for the bride to carry on her big day for good luck :-)

The Spathoglottis kimballiana (Ground Orchid) shrub that was blossoming last week continued to see a few more flowers opening up. Love how the flowers look through the camera lens -- really striking against the green background. So I am posting this again today.
