Krismisroos

You can be a victor without having victims."

Got this flower from Arnold's girlfriend, Engela, yesterday. I don't know what it is called, maybe MissU2 can help me out here.

This must be one of the most popular shrubs in the country. It is grown for its massive flower balls in late summer and autumn. Here in South Africa we call it Krismisroos or "Christmas Rose/Flower" because it starts to flower in November and is at it's peak in December.

The bright morning sun did it's magic here and I thought it will make a great b&w blip - my first b&w blip btw!

I took another shot in the late afternoon sun - the color is a light pink with a bit of blue.

No rain today!
