A celebratory post to welcome warmer weather and an imminent change of season. These flowers were shot in Mexico in December, and I do not know what they are.

I feel dramatically warmer for seeing their radiant hue. Perhaps I could show the photo to the snow on my front lawn. 🙂

Do so. The snow has all melted here and I’m fixing to get on my motorcycle in a bit.

So happy for you, and I’m not even being sarcastic. 🙂 Things are melting here and the path by the river is pretty much dry for running and cycling.

It’s an Ixora, Mike. Small, round bush with long, green leaves and massive orange-hued clusters of sturdy flowers. I have some of them in my garden. They are common in South Texas and Mexico. Beautiful flowers. http://goo.gl/w5GFDH

Well done George. I knew someone would know and alas, it is my wise friend in Texas.

It could be Hydrangea. I have not seen them in orange but other colors. This is my wife’s expertise not mine. Either way they are beautiful and give spirit.
