Fallen to Earth: Flower of the Day, Nov 4, 2019

IMG_7015When I got back from decorating the graves in the Pantheon, this lone artificial flower was lying by my kitchen door, having fallen off the bunch as we carried them to the car. The marigold I found in the street as I left the Dia de los Muertos art show that I had pieces in. Flowers abound during this time of the year.

Queen’s Tears Bromeliad: FOTD Oct 27, 2019

Little Miracles

This plant is of special significance to me because it grew in profusion from hanging baskets on my porch in Boulder Creek, Ca. For the eighteen years I’ve been in Mexico, I have from time to time looked for it in viveros because it has such a special significance to me, but if it has been there, I’ve overlooked it.  But a few days ago, as I was coming back from my front gate, I noticed this bloom growing from a pot. I have no idea how it got there, but it is the Queen’s Tears Bromeliad I’ve been looking for for eighteen years. Little miracles occur every day. What a pleasure that sometimes they make themselves so obvious that we can’t overlook them.

A few seconds before I shot this yesterday, there was a hummingibird hovering over this bloom.
