Explore Jul 29, 2009 #287 This tiny flower has really given me the run around! I took this shot one morning... along with 100 others... got home and couldn't find it in any of my plant books. I looped back around my route to take more shots... another hour's walk... but couldn't find it again, despite crisscrossing and weaving through the whole area. I remembered it was the flower of a tree with fairly rough bark. But I recalled it as being far larger than it really is. This cluster is only about 1 1/2 inches across! But mysteries have a way of solving themselves if you keep your intention high. Several days later I was walking and, with no thought of my search, glanced up and there it was! Gorgeous and delicate. But I had to quickly shrink the old image in my mind to make it fit the reality in my hand. Macro makes even the tiniest thing seem huge! Tamarind, Indian Date, or Tamarindo comes from tropical Africa to tropical South Florida. Gorgeous... I'll never forget it now!

Whether deliberately or otherwise, Kavan did little to assist future biographers. Elusive and capricious, with the restless, questing nature of the malcontent, she drifted from country to country and man to man, formed friendships and dropped them, concealed her real age, and destroyed diaries and letters.

Capricious seems quite the fitting word for March, what with it's fickle, ever changing weather and unpredictable elemental switches.
