Century’s End
Flowers way past their prime have a charm all their own. These tenacious ladies seem to be clinging to the stalk for as long as possible, just like some of us intend to do!!!
(The century plant blooms once–for a very long time–and then dies, but another plant always springs up in its place.)

Below is a version of the same photo with the saturation decreased from the original:
And below, again, is the actual color of the flower:
Which photo do you prefer?

I saw this beauty in the Panteon today and had to save it for Cee’s challenge.

Hanging Gardens!
A nursery in Ajijic hung marigolds from a massive tree at its entrance for Dia de los Muertos. Stunning!

Marigolds are seen in profusion on Day of the Day altars and graveyards. I snapped these at the Lake Chapala Society during a lull in the rain today.
