These flowers were on the grounds of the Lake Chapala Society in Ajijic. I’m guessing they are foxgloves. Does anyone have a different guess?

Eeeeeek! Naked Ladies!!!: Cee’s Flower a Day Challenge
I walked in to do Information Booth duty at the Lake Chapala Society, and these little naked ladies were popping up all over the grass. I was told by a local lady in the know that they are very invasive, and I believed her as there was plenty of evidence of it here. I had only seen the larger variety before and was never drawn to them because of the absence of leaves, but this shorter and smaller variety is lovely.

More Poinciana: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge 7/10/15
I earlier posted just one shot of this Poinciana bloom. Today I’m posting a variety of other shots of the Royal Poinciana tree. The large brown seed pods are a larger version of the green pods I posted of the Tabachine–a miniature version of this tree.

Mystery Flower: Cee’s Flower of the Day, July 9,2015
Does anyone recognize this flower? I took this picture in the Amazon jungle in Peru. Its petals were very thick and waxy, as I recall.
In trying to discover the identity of this flower, I stumbled upon images of dozens of varieties of Hoyas. I think they are perhaps the most beautiful flowers I’ve seen–certainly up there in the top ranks, at least. Has anyone ever seen them? Gorgeous!!! (Google “hoya flowers” instead of “hoyas” or you’ll end up with images and information about a basketball team!)
Happy Birthday, Patti! Have fun in New York!!!

Lantana!!! (Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge, July 8, 2015)
Lantanas, a perennial in the verbena family, grew to bush size in California but grow into trees in Mexico, if not trimmed back. I love the variety of blooms in different stages on each plant.

Bugambilias (Bougainvillea): Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge.
Bougainvillea
Unfortunately, this beauty is outside my wall on the front of my house where I really haven’t noticed it. This is my very favorite color of bougainvillea (bugambilias in Mexico) and it only stays orange like this when it is in bright sunlight for part of the day. When I planted it in Boulder Creek, CA, it always turned pink for lack of sunlight in the redwoods. I need to plant one in my back yard as well so I can see it every day.

Cee’s Flower a Day Challenge: Crab Apple in Bloom
This flowering crabapple tree was in my Niece’s front yard in Minnesota. You can see a fruit growing at the bottom, which surprises me as I didn’t know this was possible while it was still blooming.
