Heliconia Embrace
I don’t know what vine this is that is twining so sensually around the heliconia flower, but I love the intimacy of its caress!!

Oscar and Carmen Play with Flowers (Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge)
Oscar and Carmen Play with Flowers
I think there were twelve of us in my full-sized van that day, off to see the wildflowers and rocks of Tapalpa. This series of pictures is all about Carmen and Oscar. Oscar is the little boy you saw diligently doing his English homework at my dining room table a few days ago. He is now nine. In these pictures he is two. Carmen is his sister and stylist.
Oscar was pretty happy with his handful of pristine white flowers
But Carmen had a better idea.
She looked beautiful in her cosmos garland, in spite of the sun in her eyes that gave her a wistful look.
But she had further plans.
And I’m not too sure how Oscar feels about his sister’s attempt to spruce up his look, but I thought he looked adorable!

On the Road to Tapalpa

- I have never seen such a profusion of flowers as on the road to Tapalpa.
For miles and miles, the fields are full of wildflowers. These pictures were taken in October, when the flowers were at their height of bloom.

Greens: Flower of the Day 9/8/15
Greens: Flower of the Day
I love the fragility of these green palm blossoms. Soon they will fall like rain.
Some leaves, such as these on jade plants and other succulents, imitate flowers.

More Orange Bougainvilleas: Flower of the day
More Orange Bougainvilleas
Okay, more orange bougainvilleaS, but this time with the real flowers : (Click on photos to enlarge.)
Each of those little coral pistil-looking rods is actually a flower bud getting ready to open. Since my last bougainvilleas post, most of them have opened, giving the bougainvillieas a fluffier look! I like both stages–sparse and frilly! In Mexico, they are bugambilias and they have many namesakes: housing developments, shopping centers, movie theaters.
