Friendship Plant or Queen's Tears

It is about time for the Flower Child to show some flowers on this blog. Here is an image of the lovely Friendship Plant. It is also known as "Queens Tears." It normally blooms in January and is a low maintenance plant. They reside on the deck on the North side of the house and are brought in to the garage in Winter to reduce the freezing hazard. In January when the pink flowers begin to show they are brought in the house so that we can enjoy them. Somehow two images made it here so you can enjoy one large flower and one small flower.

The texturing was done using "filters" in Photoshop Elements 5.0 which I am learning to use.
