Yesterday’s Hibiscus Flowers Opening
Later in the day, I went out to see what yesterday’s furled hibiscus buds were up to. they weren’t fully unfurled, but still, looked very different from that morning’s tight buds.

Hibiscus with Worst House Guest Scenario
Some leaf predator has been busy on this hibiscus leaf, and the severed bud caught in it is a bit the worse for wear as well, but it makes for an interesting picture; and I think the bud to the right in the first picture has escaped devastation, at least.
The culprit causing all this damage is a little worm hidden in this foam.
But this bud and these blooms that will unfurl as soon as the sun is fully out seem to have escaped damage.

Hibiscus
I love both the veining and the shadow of the pistils and stamen in this shot. The sun was brighter than usual–perhaps an indication of the ending of the rainy season. it hasn’t rained for days and things are starting to look less lush. Soon it will be wildflower season in the mountains. More photo opportunities!!

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

After a hot humid day in Ajijic, I arrived home to find it had rained. This beauty had bloomed in the garden by the pathway into my house, bearing evidence to that fact. I have four or five different varieties of hibiscus and each time a new bloom comes out, it is a gift!!
Since I believe Cee is on retreat, I’m linking this to her yesterday’s challenge. You can see other floral offerings HERE.
Oops..she did post today, so to see her today’s post, go HERE.
Hibiscus
Called Obeliscos in Mexico, I have never seen so many varieties and colors of Hibiscus as in the nurseries in the little towns that surround where I live. I’m going to try to take pictures as the various colors bloom. I absolutely love the blooms. Although they do not last long, there is always a new one opening and if Pasiano doesn’t trip too often, dozens at a time popping open on one plant.

I earlier posted just one shot of this Poinciana bloom. Today I’m posting a variety of other shots of the Royal Poinciana tree. The large brown seed pods are a larger version of the green pods I posted of the Tabachine–a miniature version of this tree.
