Jade Vines: FOTD Feb 19, 2023

(Click on photos for a better view.)

This is an entirely different jade plant than I have ever seen before and no relative, as it is not a succulent, but rather a vine that has these strangely-colored large plastic-looking turquoise-colored chandeliers hanging down from it. They are, however, a real flower!!! Sighted at the Garden of Dreams Boutique Hotel in Ajijic. I had a hard time capturing their true color with my camera, but they are a consistent opaque flat turquoise color. They were over a foot in length.

Captured Prey: Bird of Paradise, FOTD Feb 16, 2023

This bird of paradise flower looks like a real bird with an exotic sea creature clasped in its beak.  The ugly chicken wire is to keep the dogs from jumping up and through the gate bars. Hope to remedy this soon.

Creeping Charlie Bloom: Flower of the Day, Feb 13, 2023

 

We planted lots of Creeping Charlie in the front garden for ground cover. I didn’t realize that they blossomed, so was surprised to see these this morning.

Leftover, FOTD Feb 9, 2023

A. bit spotted by mold or the minerals in our water, this poinsettia nonetheless has survived Christmas to bloom amidst the Dusty Miller in the front garden of my house.
