I guess I’m just going to keep posting pictures of this orange dahlia until I run out of angles. Yes, I do have a few more I haven’t presented, but I’ll give it a rest for awhile. This is what Christmas looks like in Mexico! It’s orange!!!

Think Pink
These huge and incredible blooms were almost obscured by the leaves of a monstrous tree on the Lake Chapala Society grounds. I had to get under them to photograph them as they hang straight down. I have no idea what the name of the tree is and in the past have just caught them after the flowers all dry up and turn brown. Thanks, Jessica, for pointing them out!

Yolanda tells me she thinks this beautiful insect is a “Chinche” and that it has a strong odor. I took pictures of it for several minutes and even somehow disengaged the flower it was on so it fell to the ground and it still didn’t present its odor, so I can only guess it enjoyed the attention. This is one to enlarge. Just click on it! Oh, Of course the flower is the ubiquitous bougainvillea! I have them in every color and size all over my property!
More gorgeous flowers! http://ceenphotography.com/2015/09/21/flower-of-the-day-september-21-2015-dahlias/
Here’s a closeup view of the wonderful flowers of the Silk Floss Tree. It is ceiba speciosa- such an interesting tree that I’m going to do another posting on it, showing its trunk and large seed pods as well.)

And, the tree itself.

Hibiscus Incline
The ramp to my studio is lined with a new crop of hibiscus peeking through the guard railings.

Another beauty from my friend Patty’s garden whose name escapes me. I love the color and variety of shape it added to her garden.For Cee’s Flower of the day, go HERE.
I walked in to do Information Booth duty at the Lake Chapala Society, and these little naked ladies were popping up all over the grass. I was told by a local lady in the know that they are very invasive, and I believed her as there was plenty of evidence of it here. I had only seen the larger variety before and was never drawn to them because of the absence of leaves, but this shorter and smaller variety is lovely.

I earlier posted just one shot of this Poinciana bloom. Today I’m posting a variety of other shots of the Royal Poinciana tree. The large brown seed pods are a larger version of the green pods I posted of the Tabachine–a miniature version of this tree.
