Really liking this banner, Carole. Given my current snow-climate perspective, they are like happy pink snow angels bursting forth. And with pod, I applaud the fine touch of the light. Fine job. I tip my hat to you.

@Fleur569, @pod, @Whitebeard; thanks for your messages; nice to read. I enjoyed making the banner. The Pink Wax Flower is super to find flowering in September in this particular coastal reserve; on very white sandy soil.

This is the location; let's go find the Pink Wax Flowers

Also for the added link you've included which I'll go read after this. Have been meaning to get back to database to add information there to round it all off. Smitten by the Pink Wax Flower; can't you tell?
