For Cee’s FOTD
I took several photos of this incredible large bloom in my neighbor’s yard, but don’t know what it is.
This is the intricately beaded cape of a voladore or “flier.” More about this incredible Mexican ritual later. For now, let’s concentrate on the flowers.
I couldn’t resist slipping this delicious mango flower into my FOTD post!

The flower is a durante erecta or sky flower, and I want to thank this lovely white butterfly for making this photo! I am trying to crop according to Nancy’s rule of thirds, but there is a problem. What should be the focus of interest—the butterfly or the flower? Which photo do you like best, top or bottom?

And for Cee’s FOTD.
This little hibiscus bush right next to my kitchen door is very faithful in providing a bloom at a time. Nice to be greeted to this surprise most days when I go out to feed the cats. It is a Spanish Dancer. Love the bloom and love the name.

These gorgeous blue dahlias were just part of the centerpiece at neighbors Sergio and David’s sumptuous Easter brunch.
