La Manzanilla Primavera














We have the most beautiful Primavera tree in front of our house in La Manzanilla Mexico.


Actually, I think it’s the most beautiful tree in town. About 3 weeks ago all the leaves fell off the tree, 2 weeks ago the yellow buds started to appear, 1 week ago the tree was glorious, bright yellow flowers about the size of a child’s hand filled the branches and were juxtaposed against the deep blue sky.


I watched each day as people walked by with camera in hand trying to capture the beauty of the tree.


The flowers are now fading and gracefully falling to the ground. I’m not sad at all to see it go, it was so gorgeous in its prime that it had to be fleeting! Looking forward to next spring already.

I love the primavera. They seemed to have an odd blooming pattern this year.
