Flower of the Day, Xmas Eve, 2018

IMG_6664I took this photo of these flowers yesterday.  They are actually tiny kalanchoe blooms in a pot on my wall ledge.  This is Christmas in Mexico!

I tried cropping, but I love the wire, the cracked pot, the unruly grass. Had to put it all back. I’m pretty sure this is a Gazania, mainly judging from the one on the left.

IMG_3675This beauty was in my friend Gloria’s garden. It would look great in an arrangement with Cee’s flaming hot peppers.

Hibiscus: Flower of the Day, Dec 13, 2018

This beauty greeted me when I left my kitchen this morning. It is dinner-plate sized!  But, I spotted foam on one of the leaf joints and saw a bud that had been chewed off and was lying on a leaf below.  Sure signs of spittle bugs.  Went to town to buy habanero chilis and garlic.  Blended 1/2 cup of the habaneros and 6 cloves of garlic with two cups of water and will leave for 24 hours, then combine with dish soap and spray on the plant.  A non-toxic to the environment (other than spittle bugs) solution to these hibiscus-eaters.
