I can’t get enough of these Spanish Dancer Hibiscus. There is a new one every few days on the bush I have to pass to get to my garage.
The above photo was taken two days ago. Today, this is what it looks like:

I photographed these flowers at the lovely Chantli Mare Beach Hotel near La Manzanilla. I used to grow them in California and I believe they are pentas star flowers.

I saw this tree in full bloom as I was driving along the carretera and promptly pulled over to photograph it. You’ll see more of it in the future. It was impossible to get a bad shot of this tree! Thanks, Judy Reeves, for identifying it for me. What a poetic name. I should have guessed its name!!!!

Carried away by its more flashy parts, sometimes we overlook the subtleties of nature. I found these shadow shots of bougainvilleas to be as intriguing as the flowers themselves.
