Dusty Petals
There are not an excessive number of flowers in La Manzanilla, but I found these little blooms down the street in a strip of soil near the curb, well-dusted by traffic on the sandy pavers. If anyone knows what they are, please let me know.

Morrie Gets a Pedicure, and Other Burnt Orange Delights.
Yes, I was surprised that Morrie took so well to being pampered with an on-site bath, blow-dry, grooming and pedicure. (This enterprising young man has started a business where he comes to your house to groom and wash your dog. He seems to be popular as he was booked solid for a week. Fortunately, he had an appointment with a dog a block away from me so although I’m 5 km. out of town, he just worked me in after his other appointment.) Morrie was a bit rank. Hated to leave him with the house sitter in that condition. And yes, I was proud of the boy. And yes, he immediately went down and rolled in the dirt and the grass. A fella’s gotta have some pride, much as he seemed to enjoy the attention.

Hibiscus
This is the single hibiscus on its bush and my next blog posting may indicate why!

Teenie Weenie: Prompt Stomp Week 14, 2016
This is a tiny portion of a compound flower that is not that impressive in it’s totality, but this one little bloom blown up in size is so elegant, I think. All of these blooms and details of plants are easy to overlook when they are life-sized. Their beauty mainly shows in closeup.

Yellow!!!
Finally!!!! I’ve been saving this one for this challenge for weeks now and keep bringing it up from my desktop. I’ve never seen a yellow poinsettia before and think it probably changed from green to yellow to white or some other color, but I loved it at this stage!! So glad to finally be able to use it. I promise no more poinsettias for awhile. Well, unless there’s a really neat one!!! Backsliding already.
