Weeds
They poke their heads through every crack.
We pull them out, but they come back.
What rule of nature is to blame
that the flowers we plant don’t do the same?

There is a surprising lack of flowers to photograph in my front garden, but the bougainvillea can always be counted upon.
Inverted, this fading hibiscus would make a perfect skirt for a hollyhock doll. Did anyone else ever make them?

These flowers look like they’d be very showy, but they are actually easily overlooked. The first photo is a closeup. Later photos show how tiny they really are.

Per your request, here are images of the entire Echeveria plant with the bloom spike. Actually, there are two blooming echeverias shown. One is 6 inches across, the other 7 inches. To see a closeup of the bloom, go HERE.
I’ve passed this second-story hideaway at the junction of two of the busiest streets in Ajijic hundreds of times, always wishing traffic would stop or that I had my camera out. This time, it happened…but I only had time enough to squeeze off one shot. The flowers and bright colors and brickwork almost make one overlook the ugly jumble of overhead wires.
