Summer blooms

Found a bush full of these beauties while visiting a friend in Orlando for her birthday. I'm told they are Passion flowers, They are so striking I didn't think they were real at first!

Later we visited Savannah and the Bonaventure Cemetery, they have statues of ethereal beauty and stunning oaks with Spanish moss by the river. 

And these pretties were growing wild by the banks 

Are these wisteria? I'm feeling inspired to paint purple flowers and maybe an angel or two!

I can't think of a book that had a greater impact in my childhood than "The Little Prince" This pop up version looks delightful, I can remember wearing my pop outs out as a child I loved them so. I hope they still delight in this digital age. 

Beautiful article at Brian Pickings on the "Little Prince"
