AFTER THE FIRST BITE

While writing the other post, I ran downstairs to update myself as well as you on how those 

flower buds are getting on.

Before I opened the main door....

Something so sweet and pleasant caught my nose.  I am not sure what these flowers are called in English but it sure made my day.  I took a couple of shots through my window...

Take a look... at them "goner-buds"... the little stumps are left for me to see.  Well, at least this soil ant is sharing my grief.

 

BEFORE THEY ARRIVED

A couple of hours before "they" arrived...

This hibiscus needed to be hold up because it is right on the ground.

While this other hibiscus decided to roll up, another one cheered me up with a a couple more buds to tell me

I would be expecting more blooms.

But a couple of hours later they were severed and eaten though not every bit... I don't have the heart to take pictures of the mutilated pieces left by those monkeys on the ground.... sob, sob, sob!

THEY ARE HERE!

After such a long wait, alas! They are here... these layered hibiscus do not last long. They started to open slowly in the morning, by noon they show off their brightest color with their full bloom and before you know it.....they are already saying bye bye bye adios, cheers and blessings.

I have no intention of telling you who came by and had a taste of them and their buds.... I felt quite sad but how could I stop them... the naughty wild monkeys , yes, they came!
