Greens: Flower of the Day
I love the fragility of these green palm blossoms. Soon they will fall like rain.
Some leaves, such as these on jade plants and other succulents, imitate flowers.

More Orange Bougainvilleas
Okay, more orange bougainvilleaS, but this time with the real flowers : (Click on photos to enlarge.)
Each of those little coral pistil-looking rods is actually a flower bud getting ready to open. Since my last bougainvilleas post, most of them have opened, giving the bougainvillieas a fluffier look! I like both stages–sparse and frilly! In Mexico, they are bugambilias and they have many namesakes: housing developments, shopping centers, movie theaters.

First Blush: Bougainvillea– Flower of the Day Challenge
This bougainvillea has a different look from my others. I love its simplicity, color, and the three pistil-like protrusions. I know that literally, these are leaves, not flowers, but somewhere within their makeup they contain what will become flowers!

Yesterday’s Hibiscus Flowers Opening
Later in the day, I went out to see what yesterday’s furled hibiscus buds were up to. they weren’t fully unfurled, but still, looked very different from that morning’s tight buds.

Hibiscus with Worst House Guest Scenario
Some leaf predator has been busy on this hibiscus leaf, and the severed bud caught in it is a bit the worse for wear as well, but it makes for an interesting picture; and I think the bud to the right in the first picture has escaped devastation, at least.
The culprit causing all this damage is a little worm hidden in this foam.
But this bud and these blooms that will unfurl as soon as the sun is fully out seem to have escaped damage.

Hibiscus
I love both the veining and the shadow of the pistils and stamen in this shot. The sun was brighter than usual–perhaps an indication of the ending of the rainy season. it hasn’t rained for days and things are starting to look less lush. Soon it will be wildflower season in the mountains. More photo opportunities!!
