Photo Friday - Dec 8 - Fresh
A bride's boquet with hibiscus, fragrent frangiopanni, bird of paradise and sweet plumeria on the edge of a Caye Caulker dock at a sunset beach wedding.
I've lived in the Windies all my life and I've never seen such an exotic, beautiful bridal bouquet before...only white flowers...funny how we're so conventional, yet we have all these gorgeous colours to play with.
I was a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown before I retired at the age of 40 and moved to Belize (17 years ago). I live 20 miles offshore on a teensy weensy tiny island called Caye Caulker, where I have an art gallery and healthy food cafe featuring my art, silk scarves, jewellery and local Belizean artists. Now, I'm a woman living in the moment accepting all the gifts that the universe has to offer.

Lovely flowers and lovely names! Sweet plumeria!!! Sweet!
The scent of sweet plumeria and frangiopanni is heavenly. The great thing is that these flowers grow like wild here and no one pays them any mind.
