Planting lots of Oleander and Bougainvilleas during the last two years in a friend’s garden in La Ventana, Baja California Sur, I saw first-hand how wonderful they are growing and blooming.
Especially after this year's frequent rains in Mexico, plants and trees are lush and bursting into fabulous flowers.

Searching for the name of a young, small tree with striking orange blooms I came over the MexicoLiving site and an article by Brooke Gazer. She describes not only several blooming trees but added great photos of the fire-red blooming Flamboyán, the Lluvia de Oro with its long hanging clusters of yellow blooms, the Tulipán, an orange-red showpiece in every large garden, and the Plumeria or Flor de Mayo.
Last but not least the “stable plant” in Mexico and South America: Bougainvilleas shrubs and trees in all colors, from white, pink, and salmon colors to dark red, magenta, and deep purple… the range of hues is just endless.
