Thankfully Frosso was at her Vancouver home this visit.
She travels between Halifax, Vancouver and Cyprus.
We went thrifting, visiting friends and
just catching up as old friends do.
Her garden is stunning, her hellebores are beautiful
as are seeing the flowers in her
Strathcona neighbourhood.
This afternoon I head over to spend the weekend
with Claire and her gang.
You can imagine how excited I am to see them.
As I was watching the sunrise yesterday,
I noticed something yellow washing up on the beach further
down from were I was.
I soon saw about
these flowers offerings brought in by the tide.
The flowers garlands are so beautifully made.
They hang on spirit homes as well as
on mirrors in cars, on boats
and at temples.
Phuang malai (พวงมาลัย) are a Thai form of floral garland.
They are often given as offerings or kept for good luck.
Today we are off for another excellent adventure.
I will share the details and photos tomorrow.
There is this beautiful tree at the pool.
It has the most amazing flowers and seed pods on it.
The flowers are very fragile and look the like they have little lights
at the end of their stems.
I will continue my research and find the name of this tree.
