Make that four!


A Periwinkle, a stunning Allamanda, a twirlling Jasmine, and a bashful Oleander.  Enjoy four flowers of the day!

I had mistakenly called the Allamanda a "Amapola" and it is absolutely not that.  In Spanish we call the yellow flower, canarios because they are yellow like the canary birds.  Huge mistake!  Here is more information about the canarios or allamanda plant:
