THANKS TO MISS VAL WHO VISITS HERE AT MY BLOG

I found out the name of these amazingly cool flowers I saw in Harmony, Ca.  I had blogged them on another blog but thought I would bring them here so she could see them.  They are called Red Tiger Flowering Maple.

Harmony is a most beautiful little area with a population of like 18 or something.  It's a great tourist stop on the way to places like Cambria and San Simeon along the Central Coast of California.

We stopped here in January  last year and it was a perfect time of year - great temps, great skies, great feeling to be near the coast and oh yes, great food too.

Val gets around in her area in South Carolina, much like I do around my area - always visiting pretty places, most gardens, museums or hiking trails and taking her camera for some great photos.

So thanks to Val,  I now will never forget the name of this flower should I ever run across another one.
