More Orange Bougainvilleas: Flower of the day

                                                   More Orange Bougainvilleas

Okay, more orange bougainvilleaS, but this time with the real flowers : (Click on photos to enlarge.)IMG_4690 IMG_4695 IMG_4692 IMG_4691 IMG_4693Each of those little coral pistil-looking rods is actually a flower bud getting ready to open.  Since my last bougainvilleas post, most of them have opened, giving the bougainvillieas a fluffier look!  I like both stages–sparse and frilly!  In Mexico, they are bugambilias and they have many namesakes: housing developments, shopping centers, movie theaters.

Jade Plant: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge, 8/13/15

Jade Plant

This was my friend Chuy’s plant and every time I look at it, I think of him.  He used to take my friend Betty and me out into the small villages to see precolumbian artifacts and ruins.  IMG_3680I love the buds as much as the flowers–the shading and the tight little promise of delicate white flowers to come.

IMG_3691IMG_3684They are like presents that open themselves.  Every day a new collection of perfect blooms.

IMG_3689IMG_3687 IMG_3685 IMG_3682Impossible to choose a favorite shot, so I’ll be as profuse as the plant and just include them all!

                                           Still Don’t Know the Name of This Flower!


IMG_3551IMG_3531IMG_3537

 

IMG_3536I 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.

Heart of Zinnia with Fly and Spider Floss: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge, August 8, 2015

4 Replies

IMG_3274IMG_3271I 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!

IMG_3275I love the detail of the shadow in this closeup.
