Flamboyant

Close-up of a red flamboyant bud on a branch, with green leaves and the trunk of the tree.
Not open yet. That is the beauty of this photo: the flamboyant is about to bloom, and the wall has yet to begin. Both are still in bud. The flamboyant, flamboyan in Papiamentu, flowers bright red in summer on Curaçao. Francis Sling photographed this bud in July 2024, a few weeks before he put the first layer of blue on the wall of For the Love of God at Landhuis Rondeklip. The flower returns in the mural. On his old website this photo sat above the section he called "thoughts". Perhaps because a bud is exactly that: something already there, but not yet visible.

A bud of the flamboyant tree, one of the flowers that return in For the Love of God.
