A rare sight in Panama, a beautiful lenticular cloud, a sure sign that strong upper winds are creating a mountain wave.
May is Flamboyant time in Panama. Unlike most other trees that only bloom for a few days, these beautiful Flamboyants bloom towards the end of April and last into June.
These parakeets seem to always stay in pairs, but fly around in very noisy groups of 40 or more.
My gardener calls these flowers “banderas de Panama” or “Panama Flag”. They are normally all red or all yellow, but this one flower came out as a hybrid! The rest of the flowers from the same plant all came out yellow. Does this qualify as a miracle?
