Judy and others


Thanks for the beauty................There is so much in Baja it just seems a waste to focus things that annoy us. That is why it took me three books to write a very brief chapter on the Under Belly of Baja--the ugliness is there but the beauty and fun part is so much better.

Thank you for the beautiful pics all.Judy, is the pic of the yellow flower a hibiscus also? In your yard? Very lovely.. And who would a thunk such a spiney(sometimes painfull) plant like the "beloved cactus variety" could produce such delicate flowers? Yep Judy, I call it Mother Nature also.

The first picture in this thread, the flower that Judy correctly calls "Copa de Oro" in Spanish is Allamanda catilartica and known as the Golden Trumpet vine in English. It is not a Hibiscus.

However, the second yellow flower is, in fact, a hibiscus.

You can see Baja far away in the background. All the photos are brilliant. I hope to see many more.

Judy


I have been found out...........wonder if Doug will allow me a new name to hide my shame.

If a flower has beauty what matters the name?

PS A word of warning.......watch out Sallysouth will be amongst you all again and in very short order.

What Bernie is saying is that I have just been given the green light, so to speak, from my doc, and after a year and a half of surgeries and staples and tubes, I am now whole again and will be heading South in a few weeks! Think I will have to scout out Bajadock and anyone else in the Punta Banda area, just to say HI! Viva Baja!!!:D:D:D And yeah, Judy, the second yellow flower was the one I was refering to.Very exotic Hibiscus.!
