One of my new hibiscus plants seems to like its new location. Although the plant is small and only a week old, it has already produce four blooms. These twins popped out the day before yesterday and look at all the buds that are getting ready to produce more blooms! They are the size of my hand with the fingers completely spread out.

The hummingbirds love these blooms once they open up.

This is the other new hibiscus I bought a few days ago, but must admit I bought one yesterday as well. My vivero has started raising some new varieties and putting them out on the street when their flowers are at their height and who can resist? Not me.

This bougainvillea just seems to stand out in front of the crowd in this shot. Click to enlarge and see her backup colors.
I believe this is my first double bird of paradise bloom since I’ve been in Mexico. It’s twins, folks!!!

I had never learned the name of this flowering tree that I planted 18 years ago, and I thank Grace at broadwaymatron.com for telling me its name. I don’t know why it photographs as blue as it is actually a dark purple. Perhaps too much sun. I like this blue color even more than its actual color, so I’ll support the illusion. Although the description calls it a bush, it says it can grow to 20 feet high. I think mine is about ten feet high–maybe higher.
