Photographed while on holiday in Mexico, summer of 2005. Looking for a likely city for eventual retirement. (We eventually chose the city of Queretaro, slightly less primitive than what we had been seeing.)
I think this is one of the prettiest flowers I've ever seen.The flowers are about 2 inches across and always look so delicate. It's easy to grow here, is happy in poor soil and spreads. Easy to grow blooms right through now to late summer. My kind of flower! :)
This "House of Tiles" is one of Mexico City's most precious colonial gems and popular meeting places. Covered in gorgeous blue-and-white tiles, it dates from the end of the 1500s, when it was built for the count of the Valley of Orizaba. According to the oft-told story, during the count's defiant youth, his father proclaimed, "You will never build a house of tiles." A tiled house was a sign of success, and the father was sure his son would amount to nothing. So when success came, the young count covered his house in tiles, a fine example of Puebla craftsmanship. The tiled murals in the covered courtyard, where the restaurant is located, were restored a few years back. Tile craftsmen from Saudi Arabia were brought in to ensure that the technique was true to the original 16th-century work. You can stroll through to admire the interior.
