There's only one or two Lobster Claw's left blooming in my garden. One seems to be reaching with all it's might,in great effort to touch the sun. It is nestled in amongst the small Robalini palms and the variegated Shefflera plants. This lone "claw" shown in the photos, proudly wears colors of autumn. As I stooped down to take closer photos, I discovered something quite amazingly lovely. Barely noticeable, were the remains of what was once a strong and vibrant plant. There clinging to life, was a sad faded bloom. It's colors were surprisingly different somehow, no longer shades of orange. In death, the Lobster Claw bloom was even more beautiful than in life. It's colors were now fuchsia, lovely pinks and pale yellows. What appeared to be small jewels, were attached to tiny stubs that once held strong and vibrant bloom stems. Giving honor to it's beauty, and it's last efforts for life, I have placed it's image on my header. Blessings.... Dee Dee
