Orchid.
Have you ever seen a blue orchid? The flower vendor swore it was its natural color.

Heliconia–Flower of the Day Feb. 8, 2016
Heliconia
This arrangement was done inside a coconut by a flower vendor who sets up in the street right across from the house I rent at the beach. I bought one to take to the the hostess of a party but had to buy one for myself as well. I added the tiny coconut “plug” to hide the watering hole.

Color Your World Fuchsia and Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge
Fuchsia
I had run down the street for two blocks in a long beach coverup quickly thrown over my nightgown when I heard the crazy rodeo parade approaching my house at 11 o’clock at night. The night before it had gone on from about 7:30 to at least 2 a.m. when I went to bed. I’d somehow missed it going by when I was dancing at Palapa Joe’s so I didn’t want to miss it tonight. I was walking back home when I spied these little flowers and I kept bending lower to get them in more detail. When I looked up I saw this BIG guy who must have been the cook in the palapa restaurant I was standing in front of, taking the picture. He was sitting in a straight chair in the parking lot—probably out to catch a spare breeze as the night was still hot. “You can see beauty in a single flower?” he asked me. When I nodded my head and said, “Mmhmm,” he just smiled and nodded his head. Such a nice little interchange and nice final human contact for the day.
More about my day will follow.

I actually found this photo while hunting for a fern picture. Guess this qualifies as both.

Found this little charmer along the street in La Manzanilla yesterday.
Just right for Cee’s challenge.

There are not an excessive number of flowers in La Manzanilla, but I found these little blooms down the street in a strip of soil near the curb, well-dusted by traffic on the sandy pavers. If anyone knows what they are, please let me know.

Orchid: Flower of the Day Jan 23, 2016
Orchid
I took this picture some time ago at a nursery but have never used it because I really don’t like either the angle nor the color of the orchid. I decided to play around with cropping.
There was something skull-like about the center of the orchid. I liked the color better when lightened, but still, the flower was just too busy.
I think perhaps I like it best in black and white.
