Welcome to the FOD - Flower of the Day

  Hello Gardeners,

I thought I'd introduce you to FOD.  My kids sometimes bring me a flower from the garden.  They place the flower in one of the many blue glass bottles that I collect.  They'll leave it in the kitchen or on my desk to cheer me.  We affectionately call them FOD or Flower of the Day.  I recently had this open pollinated vireya bloom in my driveway.  I didn't have the heart to cut this beautiful flower and preferred to watch it on the plant.  Besides, this truss is quite large.  I'll need to find a smaller FOD.  We'll see what tomorrow blooms.  Aloha!
