Palm Tree Blossoms: Flower of the Day Mar 22, 2016
This little woodpecker wakes me up most mornings, pecking away 80 feet or more up one of my palm trees. This morning it brought a gift by bringing my attention to these beautiful palm blossoms that I usually only notice floating in my pool.

Lilies–A Flower a Day March 21, 2016
Since it is almost Easter and since lilies always remind me of Easter and my mother, this post is for her. Both my mom and dad loved flowers and trees and every house in the somewhat arid little town where I grew up always sported trees, petunias, pansies, trumpet vines, tulips, peonies, sweetpeas and roses––but never lilies. They were for Easter, as a potted plant to be thrown away after the blooms faded. I don’t think it ever occurred to us that they could be planted.

Primavera in Bloom: A Flower a Day 3-20-16
Today, the park along the Ajijic malecon was full of activity, people, birds, Micheladas and these beautiful Primavera trees in bloom. More about the people later. It is 4:15 a.m. and the LOUD Music half a block away above me has finally stopped. Yes, it kept me awake but it sounded like a huge family party. Everyone was singing along with the music and having a wonderful time. During Semana Santa, the week leading up to Easter, we can expect more and more people to flood into town and more and more loud celebrations.
Happy Spring!!!

The Neighborhood–A Flower a Day, Mar 19, 2016
The most wonderful thing about bougainvilleas is often their surroundings. They can obscure faults, serve as security and also as home to many creatures: possums, lizards, iguanas and my own cat. Here are some beautiful places that bougainvilleas exist in La Manzanilla:

Bougainvillea Shadows: A Flower a Day, March 17, 2015
Carried away by its more flashy parts, sometimes we overlook the subtleties of nature. I found these shadow shots of bougainvilleas to be as intriguing as the flowers themselves.

Bougainvilleas––Flower of the day Mar 16, 2016
The wild tumble of bougainvillea actually forms a wall in my friend’s open-walled house. She lives about as outside as it is possible to live without actually living outside. Later on this week, I’ll show you her house, studio and art. I love the wildness of these intermixed vines, the shadows and the colors. Here’s another one for you, Cee.

Honeysuckle–Flower of the Day March 13, 2016
These honeysuckle sepals become their own stark bloom that is just as intriguing once their blossoms drop. (Click on first picture to enlarge and on arrows to see other two enlarged photos.)
