White Bird of Paradise Bloom

It was a perfect day at the beach today as I got a chance to enjoy our beautiful weather, gorgeous beach and spend time with delightful friends from long  ago. We got to enjoy the Gulf, the pool, the Waterfront restaurant's good food, and then a dip in the pool afterwards. The white bird of paradise was just one of the many tropical splendors at the Coconuts Beach resort in Holmes Beach, a wonderful family style condominium rental right on the beaches. You often see the orange birds in bloom, but the large white birds, not so much! There were many blooms and the ruffle of the stalks was interesting, too! It was so good to see Jenny and Claudette and share and reminisce about the sister who sadly they lost in the past year. Marianna, was the baby of the family and much loved by all of us! May her memory be forever a blessing!
