Hibiscus and Hopper: FOTD Aug 24, 2022
The new (within the past year) hibiscus bush has six blooms on it! Even more beautiful in closeup, except for one factor! They must taste as good as they look. This little muncher was only 1/2 inch long, but when I put my finger out hoping he’d crawl aboard, he must have jumped 7 feet in the air! As good in his leaps as in his chomps.

White Dahlia: FOTD, Aug 21, 2022
I’ve never seen a flower like this before. So beautiful in its unfolding. Is it a chrysanthemum? A large white marigold? I’m waiting to be taught. It was very large, like a mum. Yay!! Within minutes, John Hric identified it as a dahlia. Thanks, John.

Lotus Flowers by Mia Pratt: FOTD Aug 20, 2022
I tried to resist this beautiful acrylic painting of a lotus by Mia Pratt at the ASA show at the Garden of Dreams in Ajijic, but it didn’t work. Now the problem is to find room enough to hang it. It is two or three feet high and needs some elbow room around it.
Want to see more of Mia’s work? HERE is her website.

Purple Golden Dewdrop (Duranta) : FOTD Aug 19, 2022
This beautiful little tree has already filled in the space vacated by the Royal Poinciana I had to have removed. It isn’t very tall but spills out into the entire empty space left at the entrance of my house. Thanks, nature, for filling in the gaps. But, once again I need help. I planted this years ago but it has always been a bit smothered out by the other trees and I can’t for the life of me remember the name of it. Can anyone help? The flowers are 1/2 inch wide. Thanks to Nesfelico, Sam and Dennyho for identifying this little tree for me!
