Thinking of Africa, I remembered also this flower:

I’ve seen these flowers a couple of times, in South Africa, approx. 5 years ago, in October 2004…

I don’t know how they’re called, even today…

One of them I took with me and after 3 airports and 10’000+ kilometres, it came to Ani, as a present… :-)

The flower withered in a beautiful way. There were some seeds from it, we tried to plant it, but unsuccessfully — it’s too cold in Europe, I guess…

Today, in this rainy day of Autumn, I’d like to give this flower again to Ani… I can’t really do it, but I have it on picture, at least. With its bright colors, maybe it will make the day brighter, more colorful, too?… :-)))
