D= for Desert Rose
This ATC is made for the ABC group and goes to Gina in Ireland
One of my favorite flowers. They don't belong in the climate where I live. Proof these plants trying to survive the winter and my care. They really look pityful here.
Here they are where they thrive best, in Africa.
After toturing them for 2 years I finally got them to blossom!
I am so happy!
Don't you just love these flowers?
Which have a beautiful transparancy and colors.

You are making me think that this is the next plant type I will be adding to my yard landscape! They grow like a dream here too in south Florida...they are really using them in great big bnunches for public gardens since they love the drought! I like the pink color of yours...and congrats on your blooms! Very exciting!!!

marianne, where have i been? i've missed three mandalas and i can't say why. seeing them all at one time reinforces for me how precious this art is. i just love what you do, and how you share it. i know the atc i have is so brilliantly inspirational for me.
