Bleach all the colors from the flowers. Cancel out the sun.
Stay the music. Still the dance. Tell laughter it is done.
She will not walk this way again so all must cease to walk.
Her conversation’s over. The whole world must not talk.
Earth upon its axis should still its constant motion.
The cook must quiet his cooking pots, the chemist trash his potion.
The universe must end itself now that my true love’s dead,
and I lay myself beside her on our wedding bed.

This is my last hibiscus purchased. It seems to like its spot in the planter formerly planted with cilantro. The cilantro didn’t thrive, so next occupant! This is another very large bloom:
I promised Simret I’d show both of these flowers together that I showed formerly individually in macros. Here they are, Janet. Bread wasn’t the only fresh thing found in the panaderia on the day I snapped these photos.

I have been trying to discover the name of this flower for fifteen years. They are on trees that flower so high above the ground that you can only see them from a distance. Last year, I photographed a smaller variety next to the car wash in Ajijic. When I photographed this one at the Nueva Posada two days ago, it was from very far away but decided to use it today anyway. It was when I cropped it a bit that I suddenly remembered what the leaves remind me of. Sure enough, I finally identified it as a variety of schefflera called the flowering schefflera or octopus tree! Now if I can just remember it next time. (Also known as the schefflera arbicola.)

Hard to tell if this star flower is about to burst or in the act of bursting.
