Today when I went out to the front garden, the hibiscus bush had so many blooms, each at a different stage of development, that it looked like a staged demonstration for a class in plant development. The blooms at every stage were so uniquely beautiful, that I took a few dozen shots, almot all of which turned out. Since I’m going to be traveling over the next few days and I’m not sure how many flowers I’ll see, I’ve decided to show you one or two of the blooms a day for the next few days. They won’t be in any particular order––just what catches my eye each day as I dip into my cache of beauties.

Here is another unlikely bouquet. This time it is aloe and garlic blossoms. My semi-wild garden creates some strange bedfellows.

I’m always fascinated by the different stages of budding, flowering and seeding. I think this stage of my canna lilies is beautiful––both the subtle pastel greens and rose and the nubby seed receptacles that look like one of those soft rubber nubby squeeze balls they sell as kids’ toys or relaxing aids for adults.

Yolanda came in today, very excited, to tell me I had to come see the flower on the elefante! I thought she meant the monster plant with giant leaves that Pasiano brought me a couple of years ago that took over the entire east wall, but it turns out it was this elephant foot palm and that it was an entire stalk of blooms. Yes, it is spectacular. Thanks, Yolanda. I am so busy getting ready to leave that I would not have noticed. That would have been a shame.

I’m not sure what this lovely little flower is that volunteered its presence near my kitchen door. If you know, please give me your verdict.

I’ve been doing so many closeups of flowers that it occurred to me that flowers can be as beautiful en masse as singly and close up, so for the next few days I want to show some of the acres of wildflowers that grow up in the mountains during September and October.
