Two bouts of heavy rain in the past two days have left my newest hibiscus rather waterlogged. I had to hold its head up to get one of these shots:

I’ve know bougainvilleas to grow to the top of huge Norfolk Island Pines here. These are regular pine trees, but they were still pretty high up.

The little pond at the Lake Chapala Society was covered with these gorgeous blooms the other day. Probably still is, with koi stitching their curvaceous seams in between.

Tradescantia, asparagus ferns, philodendron and a small pepper tree furnish company for this pineapple grown from a pineapple top I laid on top of the soil in a planter months before this photo was shot. Not quite a flower, but as pretty as one.

A few days ago I showed a different color of tabachine. This is the more usual color—and my favorite. Butterflies love them. So do I. Although my gardener calls the small bush varieties of the poinciana tabachine and the large tree varieties flamboyan, sites on the internet call the larger variety both tabachine and Royal Poinciana and this smaller variety a dwarf poinciana.

When I saw your flower post tonight, I couldn’t resist posting this photo of a lily pond I took just today, Cee!!!

This is such an unusual color of tabachine. They are usually vivid yellow and orange.
Love them against this vivid fuchsia wall.

This small guava fruit on the tree outside my kitchen is still partially flower.
