Olvera in bloom

At the request of our friend Russ, now back in Canada, we bring you today images of what's blooming in Olvera at the moment ......and what's not !

These grapes were growing on a vine attached to a lemon tree on Calle de Bellavista.








Not so long ago these thistles were in bloom but the heat of the last couple of months has taken it's toll of the wild flowers.




















































I make no apologies for not knowing the name of the individual plants but a "reliable source" from distant parts has identified some for me.
Morning Glory.





















Bougainvillea.


























Hibiscus.





































































Oleander.













The true flower of Olvera.















































Hollyhock.
