FLOWER TIME

I couldn’t find what type of flower this is. It was on a bush at the entrance of a building. I liked its colours and waxy feel.

JOKE: Two men – blond, of course (no offence meant) - find three grenades, and they decide to take them to a police station.
One asked: "What if one explodes before we get there?"
The other says: "We'll lie and say we only found two."
Thank you so much for looking and for the wonderful comments on yesterday's picture.

Haha - love a joke - why don't we have more? Lovely deep colours in this sort of magnolia. I guess it has a beautiful scent too!

A beautiful frangipani Dione, they have a delightful perfume :)

I believe this is a Plumeria, also known as a Fragnipani. Such an exotic flower. I have photographed them in Mexico. Well done.

Its a Frangipani. We have them in many colours coming out all over the place in Queensland at the moment. Have 2 trees same colour in my garden. I actually had my bridal bouquet made up of exactly the same one 47 yrs ago

Love the waxy look and color ...your focus is lovely. Love your jokes...keep em coming!! I'll try to think of one .. I used to know a lot when I was working. But long forgotten now.

It's so very pretty- especially with that buttery yellow center. Beautiful capture!

Beautiful and nice to see something other than snow and dead, brown leaves!

Great capture of this lovely flower!!! Nice composition and detail!!! Funny joke!!!

I like the clarity of how the color radiates from the center out. Funny joke, too.
