Saturday, September 13--Mystery Solved

If you remember, we have a good deal of unidentified flora in our front "yard." Did a little research while waiting for the exterminator to arrive, and have concluded that the tree with the pretty white flowers is a hibiscus. The blooms are gorgeous, but last only one day. Then they curl up tightly, drop off, and stick like glue to my windshield. I try to remember to pick them off by hand before leaving, because if I use the wipers to scrape them off, everyone thinks that the dumb American still can't remember which side the turn signal lever is on!
