This beauty was one of dozens flanking the effigy of the Virgin Mary near the plaza in San Juan Cosala. The church is filled with hundreds.

“When you wore a tulip, a rosy red tulip–and I wore a big yellow rose.” (We just got the colors mixed up a bit.) For Cee’s Flower of the day. See her contribution HERE to complete the ditty.

This hibiscus was poking up to the sunset sky head and shoulders above the rest, so no distracting background.

I love these little buds that look like a bunch of ducks or a gaggle of geese in a row.

Shaving Brush Bloom: FOTD, Dec 8, 2019

IMG_7990

I have driven under the huge tree that sits in front of Pasiano’s house thousands of times over the past 18 years and only today did I notice that it is a shaving brush tree! One of my favorite blooms and the only one I’d seen before was in La Ribera in Baja California. I stopped the car, backed up and got out to take a few shots. Amazing what we can overlook so close to home.
