Sky Blue––Thunbergia Grandiflora: Flower of the Day, May 21, 2017

Just try to convince me that this thunbergia isn’t sky blue! The first photo is of a thunbergia flower on the vine near my studio.  The second is a mistake shot I took of the sky seconds later.  I was amazed at how the colors matched!

Hen and Chicks Blossoms: Cee’s Flower of the Day, May 17, 2017

IMG_3859jdbphoto

These succulent hen and chick blooms seem to be blushing.  It is a very hearty and easily transplanted succulent, thus its scientific name “sempervivum,” which means “lives forever.”

Hen and Chicks

If you’re yearning for a flower, do not question picking them,
for their mama is a hen who is forever chicking them!

Plumeria (Frangipani): Flower of the Day, May 12, 2017

IMG_3844jdbphoto

My plumeria tree is in full bloom right now.  It is in the lower garden right next to my pool, which is raised about 5 feet above it due to the fact that my house is built on a mountain.  So, the blooms are right at eye level and above.  Perfect to enjoy this lovely stage of growth.

Now, go see Cee’s tulip.  Spectacular!!!

Bougainvillea, Flower of the Day, May 2, 2017

I saw this extravagently hued bougainvillea outside a cafe/gallery where we saw the work of a talented young Guadalajaran artist. Rich colors inside and out.

The sign on this gallery/restaurant in San Antonio Tlaquepan said “Mui Rico.” It suited both the flowers outside as well as the cuisine and rich colors of the art display inside.
