100 Degrees in the Shade (above) is brand new, just taken yesterday. And, yes, it was a warm day, though I'd say it was rather more muggy than hot. Though where I lunched and visited with a friend most of the afternoon I was quite comfortable -- in a gazebo next to our pool.

Here's another I took yesterday, Eden's Apple:

I keep trying to get a good head-on shot of an epiphyllum bud when it's first out, but have yet to succeed. So wound up going artsy water-color-like with this attempt at that sort of shot. And I was awfully tempted to keep on taking photos all around our grounds yesterday. The sunny warm weather with all the blossoms and foliage made it feel like some pimoridal garden. But I listened to my knee when it gave me pause and stopped after only a couple dozen. Many of which I have yet to really work on.
