Fall Color

I guess you can say it is fall, at least that is what the calendar says; although you wouldn't really notice it yet here.  The humidity is still here along with the heat.  I am hoping the humidity will disappear magically in a week or so, it seems to me that it left about the 12 th of October last year.  So I am hoping.  Once that leaves you don't notice the heat and fall has arrived in my mind.  The temperatures also do start cooling down a bit.  With all the rain lately the mountains are looking very green and lovely.
I cleaned off the patio Sunday afternoon while it was cooler, ( 29 C., 84% humidity, felt like 35 C.), it is all relative I guess, as before the "feels like" temperature would hover around 43 C. with the humidity.  I moved around some of the plants and took a few photos.
  It must be almost 3 yrs. ago that we bought this little bougainvillea plant/bush.  It has almost died several times and has basically done nothing up until this summer.  All of a sudden it began to grow and is actually looking alive, healthy and bush like.  It is beginning to bloom and is pretty.

The Desert Rose just keeps blooming and blooming, never seems to quit and also keeps growing.  At one point this summer it lost a major amount of leaves for some reason; but has recuperated and is doing well now.














The Jasmin blooms off and on and smells heavenly.
