Tabachine: Flower of the Day, Dec 9, 2020

4 Replies

This tabachine bush blooms year round and there is usually a new crop of butterflies to flutter around it. Most of the hummingbirds have defected to the neighbors’ hummingbird feeder pictured in my Thanksgiving photos, but a few still come visit this little tree which is in perfect view from my studio.

New Hibiscus! FOTD Dec 6, 2020

17 Replies

I just bought this hibiscus today. I told the woman who owns the vivero I must pass every time I drive into San Juan Cosala that I have no problems with drugs and alcohol but that I’m addicted to plants! They always put the new hibiscus varieties along the road and I almost always fall. I had this one sitting in the kitchen and will plant it on Monday, but there must be enough light that it was still open at 11 PM. Here it is… my first red one, albeit the red is just around the edges. It is six inches across.

Succulent Rose

I love how much this tiny succulent growing from the end of a branch of its mother plant looks like a yellow rose. The leaves behind it are from a different plant but help to further the ruse.

Impossible to tell what color this hibiscus will be from the bud. What would you guess?

Thunbergia, FOTD Dec. 1, 2020

6 Replies

This little Thunbergia vine is not growing out of the pot but rather into it from below. It has wandered all over my front and back gardens, then dies back and has to be untangled from the rest of the plants. It is fun to see where it is going to wander off to next. It somehow got from the front yard to the back without my help and with no clear pathway, as the house is in-between and paved with a stone terrace all the way around it.. One of nature’s grand mysteries. This fast-growing little plant is also called clockvine or black-eyed-susan.

These pomegranates are actually still on the tree, surrounded by a dried Thunbergia vine nest.
