It's been another of those days when I run from pillar to post without really getting anywhere, so it is difficult, if not impossible to reflect on French life or wild things. On the good news front, the supermarket shelves seemed to be back to near normal and I was able to get age appropriate wet food for the cats - I'm not sure they will thank me, but I feel better about that.
In a minute we are off to celebrate at a distance the birthday of one of the Chinon Two - this is taking social distancing to extremes as he is about 80km away, but tomorrow we will go and see him and celebrate properly (hint - this means no blog tomorrow!).
So for today, I will delight you with weird flowers seen on Guadeloupe - I am pretty sure none of them are native to the island, but they sure are happy there! I suspect the colourful bits are bracts not flowers, before the biologists get on to me. These ones are upward facing.
These ones are downward facing - not so easy to use in flower arrangements.
And this one is just magnificent - I think it is called something like a china flower or porcelain flower. Not the scientific name obviously.
