... these flowers aren't huge, like the ones florests sell, they're 'typical size' of a native orchid - see?:
Actually today is just another lovely day in Tisingal ... though it does look like autumn - the way I can tell is that some of the trees have barren branches raised to the sky & there are leaves to add to the compost pit, otherwise the climate is typical.
If it were not for various plants having 'dormant' times and the area having a dry season, every day would seem like every other day. This is not a bad thing, but it tends to give me problems keeping track of the season in the States.
Yesterday, when we checked on how the paperwork was progressing for our water concession, we discovered several bags of plants in the back of the place (the water department shares the building with the agricultural department) ... of course, Paul had to ask what they were & when he was told 'mountain avocados' he wanted to know how much one cost .... we purchased 5 & were happy to pay the dollar, now I'm wondering just where to plant something that gets a big as an avocado tree.....
And this is our animal photo of the week ... these deer have been monitoring progress on our yard and house since we started the rock wall, but it's the first time we had the camera handy to show them to you:
