biscuit flowers

here in florida, there is no cold....well maybe a few nights, but that is limited

the downside of this warm climate- no snow, no great winter clothes and those brown furry boots that i bought this past fall will have to be retired until i make my way to a cooler climate

the upside of this is getting to work on a tan in January and having flowering plants when you are used to having bare trees and that leads to hearing one of the funniest child word flubs that i have heard in a long time....

my nephew was out working on the yard with us the other day and he comes running up to my mom, saying..."grandma, i have a biscuit flower for you, a biscuit flower"

being as i have never seen a biscuit flower, much less heard of one i turned to see what all the commotion was about.....and there in my nephew's hand was a huge red flower that he had picked off of our "hibiscus" plant

so no new species of plant, just a funny little kid enjoying the flowers of the winter
