This picture was taken about 07:00 a.m. on a lazy Sunday morning. As you can see, the sales spot beside her is empty, as well as all the rest. This woman was the only early bird this morning.
Above the walkway you can see a very popular flower in Panama which is commonly known as “Veranera“. The proper name is Bougainvillea (pronounced buːɡɨnˈvɪliə). Bougainvilleas are popular ornamental plants in most areas with warm climates. Locarno in Switzerland, with its mild Mediterranean climate, is famous for its bougainvilleas.
The growth rate of bougainvilleas varies from slow to rapid, depending on the variety. They tend to flower all year round in equatorial regions. Elsewhere, they are seasonal, with bloom cycles typically four to six weeks. Bougainvilleas grow best in dry soil in very bright full sun and with frequent fertilization; but they require little water once established, and in fact will not flourish if over-watered. As indoor houseplants in temperate regions, they can be kept small by bonsai techniques. They can be easily propagated via tip cuttings.
In Panama you will find this flower almost everywhere enticing the well trimmed gardens of its citizens. Good Day.

Today has been the first time I have not included any caption messages under the photographs. It wasn’t necessary. The words of the flowers were more eloquent than my pen. I’m still in awe with what I saw up there in the clouds. Good Day.

While strolling through the premises of Hotel Finca Lérida, one of the characteristics that struck me, was the abundant amount of gardens and flowers. Everywhere I went, there was a constant stream of brightly colored flowers and grass. It was like walking inside a gargantuan garden.
I also noticed a generous amount of colorful bird houses too, but that’s another story for another day. Today I will concentrate on the singular beauty of the flowers of this one-of-a-kind mountain hotel.

Snapshot of a spotless garden outside the lodge I was staying. It was the first beautiful sight I saw when I opened the front door. Compared to Panama City, I was floating in heaven. Take notice of the fireplace outside the suite. There’s another one similar to this one inside the lodge. Photo by ©Omar Upegui R.
