My Garden, For Cee: FOTD Jan 14, 2022

23 Replies

Cee remarked on loving my garden, so here is a view of some of it for her. If you click on the photos, they enlarge, and some have captions.

Some denizens of my garden are fauna, not flora. This colorful insect is a large cow-killer ant (actually a female wingless wasp with a very painful bite, thus the name.)
This one is less easily overlooked.
This little guy rapped loudly on some tree in the neighborhood until I finally went out to see where he was. But, the minute I went out the door, he would freeze and become invisible. Finally, however, I caught him doing his business, whereupon he promptly flew away and has not returned. Here he is eighty feet up in the tree.

I photographed this orchid last night at “Go” Restaurant in Ajijic. It was large. Perhaps 7 inches high. I’m not positive that it is a Ladyslipper, but it is so similar to one that I used it as a tag.

These flowers are made from corn husks by women in San Cristobal, a small village across the lake.
