Dahlia: FOTD Apr 14, 2023

2 Replies

Since I’m rather low on “different” flowers right now, I searched my archives for a flower labelled “Unused.” This one came up, but when I typed its number into my WP media file, I found I’d published it seven years ago. It was pretty enough that I decided to publish it again anyway. Cee does say we should dig into our archives!!! Makes me want to go out and find dahlias to plant. It’s been a long time since I’ve had dahlias in my garden. Unfortunately, the little dogs will probably eat them. They are big salad fans.

The leafcutter ants have not been stealing my bougainvillea as much this year. Thus, this healthy crop.

Plumeria and Palm Flowers FOTD Apr 12, 2023

8 Replies

The palm flowers are dried and about to start raining down on everything below . This is one stalk overlooked by the tree cutters. I’m just hoping a big wind doesn’t come up and blow them all into the pool.  Pretty, but messy. It’s good to have leaves and flowers on the Plumeria, though. It has been naked branches since before Xmas.

Not much detail, but I loved this arm of bougainvillea reaching up into the sky.

I took a sunset walk on the San Juan Cosala malecon last night and took this photo in my favorite restaurant there.

Palm Tree Blooms: FOTD Apr 4, 2023

Click on photos to enlarge.

The first photo shows the fruiting bundle of the palm tree in full bloom. The men came yesterday to trim them off the trees.  Pretty, but a real mess when the petals fall like snow to cover the surface of the pool as well as the grass and terrace. If the fruit is left to ripen and fall, it is a further daily chore to clear them away. The dogs love them but can choke on the huge pits.
