I know. I have to stop publishing photos of these yellow hibiscuses, but they just keep putting out new blooms and I succumb. See the bud on this one, taken yesterday? It is probably in bloom today.

A bougainvillea vine lush from recent rains hangs out over the wall into my lower garden as though to catch a glimpse of the just-completed Quetzalcoatl sculpture down below. It’s been two years now since I started working on this reclamation from dumping ground weed patch to community garden. More to come. And yes, I have decided on a name. A secret for now.

Oops. Late today. I have an excuse!!! Tell you about it later. Marigolds are the traditional flower for Day of the Dead in Mexico. All along the road between Ajijic and San Juan there are roadside vendors, with trucks filled with them in front of the pantheons (graveyards.) The trail of petals from the flowers in front of my altar to the front door is a road inviting spirits of loved ones to visit but then to depart again. Thus it leads both up to the altar and afterwards, back out through the front door. My house has had a number of visits by spirits over the past 22 years. If you check back through my blogs, you’ll hear their stories.

(Forgottenman suggested I post a real flower to atone for his little gag on the earlier one posted for today.)
