Xmas in October: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge, 10/28/15

Xmas in October (Umbrella Plant and Bougainvillea)

IMG_7203 IMG_7202The combination of the white and green star-shaped blooms on the umbrella plant combined with the red bougainvillea create a Xmas scene even before Halloween–which is echoed by the Xmas decorations already being displayed next to the Halloween costumes in Walmart in Ajijic.  Holiday madness has made it even to Mexico.  Sigh.

Nosegay: Cee’s Flower A Day Challenge 10/12/15

Nosegay

Version 2Where did I find this nosegay?  Not real, but pretty?

Version 2On this sugar skull made by one of the few kids who braved the threat of the weather to come to the sull decorating yesterday. The afternoon session was cancelled, schools shut down and I was advised by Proteccion Civil to leave my house as they feared landslides.  I’m back in my house after a big and frustrating adventure which I am about to write about.

Spanish Dancer at Midnight

IMG_6829The name of this variety of hibiscus really is Spanish Dancer! Another of my shots taken after midnight with the help of a flashlight. From this angle you can’t see the pinkish red at the center of the inside.
