Bolo Bolo

The weather is erratic - hot sun one minute and dark clouds the next and before you know it, the sky has opened up and rain is pouring down in sheets. Not a very romantic description of rain. Though I welcome cool weather I am essentially a sunshine lover. So are these bolo bolo flowers.
