A Floral-logue

My garden is coming alive thanks in part to the quantities of rain we've had recently. The large avocado tree is, sorry to say, nearing the end of its fruiting season, and I have enjoyed every bite. Here are a few still on the tree, if you can spot the four in this frame.

The garden is not overwhelmed with flowers, but there are bright colors here and there, and I did try to find a web site which would identify my specimens properly, without success. Maria José offered some local names. This one looks like a cana to me; she calls it "Bandera Española."

This is a floral tree growing beneath a coconut tree Maria José calls "Musa."

Bougainvillea, or "veranera," as it's called here.

And "Trinitaria."

A variety of hibiscus, called "Flor de Avizpa"

These are called "lirio", and I have them in pink and red; they remind me of candle flames.

Here are some pinkish flowers called "Juanita,", and some ground cover that reminds me of buttercups, called "Grama Mani."

Byron is here today planting some hydrangeas my landlady intended to put in, but left under a tree in their little black plastic bags. They are called "Milleflores" here, and although I do not care for hydrangea, I hate to see them wasted.
