Just pulling one branch over so I could capture more blooms at a time created this seeming hibiscus lei. Seven bloomed at one time. Riches.

Hibiscus: Dancing With the Stars
When eight of these Spanish Dancer hibiscus blooms showed up in full regalia on the same day, it was hard to pick a winner. You’ll see more of their sisters on another day. Don’t want to slight any of them. Click on any flower to see larger views of them all.
Bougainvillea Bushes: Flower of the Day, Sept 5, 2017
The rainy season on Lake Chapala turns everything a lush green. Although generally they flourish in a drier climate, the bougainvillea seem not to be minding it either.
Night Bird: Celebrating my 3400th Posting With A Flower of The Day
I saw this bird in the light from the wall lamp outside the guest room as I opened the front gate at 9:30 PM to let guests out after a film night at my house tonight. I remarked on the interesting lighting and my friend Glenda remarked it was more interesting because of the street light shining on it as well. I wedged the gate open with an old axe head of my grandfather’s, went in to get my camera, got distracted and promptly forgot about it. It was after 1 a.m. when I decided to post a photo of a flower for my 3400th posting, remembered seeing a flower I wanted to photograph, remembered I was with Glenda when I saw it and started combing my memory. I then remembered it was a bird of paradise and went out to find the gate still wedged wide open. Not a good idea in Mexico–especially with an axe head invitingly wedging it open!!! Sheesh.
Here it is, above and below, not as interesting as earlier, but. . . .If my math is right, it is my 114th daily posting for Cee’s flower prompt, which I started posting on June 30, 2015.
A lonely street, up a mountain road with no close neighbors. Not a good idea to leave the gate open for midnight visitors, leaving them a weapon to boot.
For Cee’s prompt. https://ceenphotography.com/2017/09/03/flower-of-the-day-september-4-2017-primroses/
Thunbergia Grandiflower: Flower of the Day, Sept 3, 2017
Pushy and messy, these thunbergia vines are nonetheless my favorites. They rival kudzu in their push to cover the world. I had to stop and click a fast photo of these vines on a neighbor’s wall.

Hibiscus in Full Sun
The Spanish name for the hibiscus is “obelisco.” Why this is, I do not know, unless it is because of the long stamen which is remotely obelisk-shaped. jdbphoto
Odontonema (Cardinal’s Crest): Flower of the Day, Aug 29, 2017
When I built the new patio around my studio to assist in drainage, I had to have them build it around this Cardinal’s Crest plant. Here are a few studies of this shady lady. You can click on them if you want to enlarge them.
