My Fav Flower & Why

Hands-down, my favorite flower is the bougainvillea (pron: boog-en-veal-ya). Yesterday, Raul pulled over on the side of a dirt road so I could literally stick my head in them. Just look at them!!!! Aren't they beautiful?! "God, you care so much for Your creation that even in shrubs, You took time to put a rich palette of color and creativity. And when I look at these, I know that You are the Master and that everything on Your Earth is Your masterpiece, and I am grateful."

When we see things like that, is what help us to understand that there is a great designer, a great architect of the universe... he created all of that for you to look cute on a picture!... :)

I can't believe that is your favorite flower! It is mine as well! I just didn't know its fancy English name, I call it in Spanish Trinitaria. We had them at home back in the DR and it was in full bloom for my wedding so I have some pictures. It was very special to me because it never bloomed before or after the wedding, just for my BIG day :)

Ahhhhh, thats so sweet! Spanish Trinitaria? No way? That's just as hard to say as bougainvillea! :)
