Cathy, who blogs at Words and Herbs, challenged us to post a flower image every day for a week to disperse some of the gloom and doom we are facing this winter. Flowers are a wonderful thing..
This is the flower of the Flaming Torch Bromeliad (Billbergia pyramidalis) Locals call this Hurricane Bromeliad as it flowers during the hurricane season. Mine bloomed twice this summer, the last time a couple of weeks ago. Hurricane season runs until November 30.

A gorgeous flower. Don’t you love the local names of flowers?

East of us on the TX/LA border. Those poor people got hit a couple of times. My location did not get any storms, just some surge along the beach.

Gorgeous, reminds me of red licorice candy! 🙂
Bet you’ll be glad when hurricane season is in the rear view mirror. Happily, it was too bad for you this year, right? Not so much for the Gulf states.
