The water hyacinths are so thick on the surface of the lake right now that this night heron can actually perch or walk across them.
There don’t seem to be very many blooms right now, but you can make out a few in the photo below:

Mums or Marigolds? anglogermantranslations says they are marigolds. I couldn’t decide which they were, so labelled them as mums. What do you think? I’m always willing to alter a misconception. At any rate, when I think of October, I think of Homecoming corsages and that means mums, so in the spirit of autumn, I will dedicate this photo to chrysanthemums even if it is marigolds. After many votes either way, I received a comment from variegatus so scientific and thorough that I am changing the title of this post to Marigold. Definitely marigold. See that information below in the comments section, and if you want to view other flowers as well, see Cee’s and other flowers HERE.
Cee and I are on a hydrangea kick. This one is mine. See hers HERE.
These look like fall leaves, but really are hydrangeas variously altered by the cold weather, I’d guess. Taken at my niece Cintra’s home in St. Paul.

Innocuous, fragile and sparse. I thought they were lovely close up.

Frida and I took a stroll on the San Juan Cosala Malecon today and found these beauties growing by a makeshift beach lean-to restaurant. So vivid against all the paler colors. More photos of that stroll in a later blog.

I don’t know what these rather innocuous-looking flowers are, but they got more interesting as I cropped closer and closer. I hadn’t even noticed the visitor taking a sip until my very last crop! You’ll need to click on the last photo to see him, probably.

This little pansy, if not for its vivid violet color, would be lost among its giant neighbors in this nasturtium patch.
