Portrait of a flower

Fragile, delicate, short-lived...

This is a tecoma tree flower; I have often featured them before as when they are in season here, they are plentiful and the trees look splendid!

Flowering in white and a soft blush pink, they don't noticeably have any fragrance except at dawn, when a wonderful floral fragrance lightly fills the air - I suspect that is when they bloom...

And when the wind blows, they fall lightly to the ground... a shower of blooms - quite a spectacle!

Here, today, I feature them in black and white

Portraits of a single bloom, almost fading... they wither away as soon as the heat of day gets to them

And for once, I shall let you enjoy them without more chatter...
