Hibiscus Incline
The ramp to my studio is lined with a new crop of hibiscus peeking through the guard railings.

Tradescantia Pallida: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge, 8/15/2015
The common name for this purple-accented vining plant is “Wandering Jew” This particular variety has such beautiful little flowers that I had to present them.
Still Don’t Know the Name of This Flower!
I am still trying to remember the name of this flower. I have a paler variety at home but these beauties are in bloom on the Lake Chapala Society grounds. I love the seed pods as well, so I’m showing one above. They burst open and spill out the black bee bee seeds, insuring a new generation of plants.

I sprinkled seed from an earlier zinnia plant over this plot of dirt left after I dug up a big cactus to transplant. My plans were to put a fish pond here, but I can’t bear to dig up the zinnias which have been blooming almost constantly since. You’ve seen them at other stages, but this is what they look like now. They are loving the rainy season!
I love the detail of the shadow in this closeup.

I so rarely get down to the garden when all the zinnias are fresh and unmarked that I just had to make them my flower of the day once again. They are so perfectly perky that if they were humans, they’d be annoying, but since they are just flowers, they earned my undivided admiration.

I don’t know why out of the dozens of pictures I took of more exotic flowers that I decided to post this little succulent bloom. It was tiny–Much magnified here.

Bougainvillea
Unfortunately, this beauty is outside my wall on the front of my house where I really haven’t noticed it. This is my very favorite color of bougainvillea (bugambilias in Mexico) and it only stays orange like this when it is in bright sunlight for part of the day. When I planted it in Boulder Creek, CA, it always turned pink for lack of sunlight in the redwoods. I need to plant one in my back yard as well so I can see it every day.
