Plumeria: Flower of the Day May 21, 2016
Well, six months later, Pasiano still hasn’t cut down the plumeria (frangipani) tree, and this year it is especially prolific, so aren’t I glad he didn’t? As usual, click to enlarge.

Royal Poinciana and Bromeliads: Flower of the Day, May 15, 2016
I love this shot of poinciana blooms backed up by telephone lines swathed in spherical bromeliad plants seeded by the sticky seeds clinging to the feet of birds who perch on them.
Tillandsia Recurvata is the name of this bromeliad often found on telephone lines in my area of Mexico.

Palm Blossoms: Flower of the Day, May 9, 2016
These palm blossoms are so high up that I usually overlook them until they start falling by the thousands in my swimming pool. At times, in the wind, they fall like golden rain. Click on photos to enlarge.
Don’t miss Cee’s flower posting today. It is incredible. Find it here:

More Bougainvillea: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge, May 2, 2016
These are the bougainvilleas that are flourishing beneath the royal poinciana tree this year. I can see the ants carrying away the petals that have fallen on the cobblestones. I’d like to believe they’ve been blown down, but there are probably trusty cutter ants up above, using their incisors to lop off the leaves and petals. If I don’t do something to wage a war, the bushes and tree will be stripped in a week. Hate to do it, but this really is war against the cutter ants.

Royal Poinciana Trees: Sunday Trees and Cee’s Flower of the Day
Royal Poinciana Trees (Flamboyan or Flame Trees)
I posted closeups and flower clusters of this tree for the past two days and now here is the tree itself. I couldn’t decide which pic I liked the best so I chose a few. I love this tree. Messy but gorgeous. Last year the leaf cutter ants pretty much ate all the leaves and flowers but this year it bloomed in all its glory.

Royal Poinciana Clusters: Flower of the Day, Apr 30, 2016
Yesterday I showed individual Royal Poinciana flowers. Today I’m showing clusters and tomorrow I’ll show the entire tree. Some say the African Tulip tree is the most beautiful flowering tree on earth, but I say the Royal Poinciana is.

My entire house is yellow orange! As is my living room and bedroom and studio… all different hues. I have been so busy that I hadn’t noticed that everything is blooming. The Royal Poinciana is the fullest I’ve ever seen it. I’ll show more of it tomorrow!

Flower of the Day, Apr 24, 2016
Another one I used to know the name of but no longer do. If anyone does, I’ll add the name if you clue me in. So little time.. so many unidentified plants! I loved the sky as much as I did the flowers on this day…I may paint my house this color!
Do not miss seeing this flower as well. It is stunning!!! https://ceenphotography.com/2016/04/23/flower-of-the-day-april-24-2016-bearded-iris/
