Not so much inspiration from this picture, but I'll weave it in somehow once I've written about all 52 of them. Still not sure what Manning gets from Santiago or why Jack wants it and why he tolerates getting chased all over or even why Manning does Jack in. Hopefully all will be revealed once I have all the story parts in one place. We'll see.
Blood flowers. Susan smiled as she deadheaded in her garden during the cooler hours just after sun up. Flor di Sanger the natives called the vivid red and yellow lantana that thrust its spear of florets out of the corona of emerald green leaves. She had always planted lantana in her garden at home to attract hummingbirds so she was glad to find them in Alwaysgreen, the only nursery on the island. Here, however, the plant felt more at home. That was obvious because she had never before enjoyed the growth and multiple blossoms she had now. And she was pleased to find that there were hummingbirds here too, tiny iridescent ones that shimmered black and green and red in the strong tropical sun.
See you tonight. I'm bringing a lesson (as soon as I figure out one).
