Thunbergia: Flower of the Day, Aug 4, 2018
Grass-Dwellers: Flower of the Day, Jul 16, 2018
Click any flower to enlarge all.
These gorgeous little flowers were growing by the road. The largest was no more than 3/4 inch wide. Those are grass spikes behind them, if you want to guage their size. I’m holding the lower part of the stem so you can’t guage their size by my fingers as they are closer to the camera. My friend couldn’t understand what I was bending over and doing as I photographed them. Lovely miniature posies.
Bougainvillea: Flower of the Day, July 3, 2018
Tabachine: Flower of the Day, June 16, 2018
This tabachine bush near my studio was swarming with fluttering black butterflies, but they moved so quickly that I couldn’t get a shot. I have a video of them taken a few years ago, and it is like a ballet—their graceful swooping, bending and departing.
Shaving Brush Tree: December 28, 2017 Flower of the Day
The scientific name of this tree, native to southern Mexico, is as surreal as the bloom. it is pseudobombax ellipticium! More commonly known as the shaving brush tree.

Cosmos: Flower of the Day, Sept 16, 2017
In September and October, the fields on the way to the mountain town of Tapalpa, a few hours from my home, fill with millions of flowers, including acres and acres of cosmos. These photos were taken ten years ago and Oscar, the little boy in this photo, is now 12 years old. Perhaps it is time to take his little sister up into the fields this year!

Cee’s posting of her cosmos flowers today prompted me to echo her post.
