Ha!!! I finally identified this plant!! It is a flower found in Hawaii and Brazil (and obviously Mexico, as that is where I bought it) named Calathea Crotalifera, also known as Rattlesnake Ginger. Strangely, it is a member of the mushroom family??? Hard to believe, but I read it on a horticultural site. LWBUT, would you have known what it was??

These huge hibiscus flowers were painted on the side wall of an outside restaurant next to the plaza in La Manzanilla, where I come for two months each year.

Here’s the rest of the flower I showed a macro of yesterday. A unique color for me.
For FOTD
I’ve been incorporating the egg carton flowers I made earlier into arrangements making use of various material found on the beach. You can enlarge the photo by clicking on it. Off for a day trip to a small beach town an hour north of here. Perhaps I’ll find real flowers!!!

Leaves stained with minerals from waterings, petals specked with dirt from the nearby road, this little beauty still displays a waifish beauty.
