The firecracker plant (picture on the right) was in bloom. I learnt that its botanical name is Russelia equisetiformis and that, surprisingly, it too, like the snap dragon (antirrhinum) and the wish bone flower (torrenia indica), belongs to the dog flower family.
The portulacas were clearly getting a lot of the sun, judging from their size.
The colors of these flowers was quite simply breathtaking!
The poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) was rather striking with its reds
