Droophead

A L O H A From Honolulu!
A molten ember bleeding
into amethyst.
Wispy multi-hues
in twilight's dance exist.




So breathe, and smile,
and know your worth,
A symphony sung
from your birth.

For in you
wonder's boundless claim,
Whispering: "forever
is your name"




This fire that we call Loving
is too strong for human minds.
But just right for human souls.
  Aberjhani



Guzmania lingulata, also known as the scarlet star, droophead tufted airplant, or orange star, is a flowering plant native to the rainforests of Central and South America, southern Mexico, and the West Indies. It is a member of the Bromeliaceae family

What really matters is
helping others win, too,
even if it means slowing down
and changing our course
now and then.
   Fred Rogers

    Droophead? Not a good name for this glorious plant. I vote for scarlet star.

    I don't remember the song or the Royalettes. They must not have been played in my area. They probably didn't pay off the DJs with enough money.

    I also won't want to call it a droophead, but it is a name that I will remember anyway! Hi to Pixie. Thanks for beautiful photos and thoughtful quotes.

    The Droophead is beautiful but what a strange name for it, Cloudia. ;-)
