Yes, that's the one. I've never seen that one before. It should have a little steam coming off the top. Well, your dog looks great and that you made the frame from wicker is amazing, an artistic gardener...really clever, with hydrangea flowers. Now that i know, i can see it, but it is such a small picture. Do you make other things from wicker, like furniture?
The volcano does not cast a shadow in our direction. I am on the south western side which is really nice because 99% of the time the ash from the eruptions goes directly northeast and our skies remain clear. The mountain does provide natural air conditioning for us generally in the late afternoon and also provides our water that flows naturally (without electricity) into our homes. The hot air from the city rises and the cool air from the mountain sinks to gives us cool afternoon breezes that are so lovely and appreciated. Chilies grow here of course and lots of fruit like pineapple, bananas, papaya, jack fruit, tons of limes, mangoes everywhere, maguay. Bougainvillea, Cosmos, Tithonia rotudifolia, aristolochia all grow wild here, a variety of asclepias species, and so many other things. We have a large variety of palms, jatropha, a magnificent large tree of hard wood called Perota, morning glories, antigonon leptopus and passiflora vines...egad what an impossible question to answer...there are pine and cedar trees higher up on the mountain. What grows here would fill a few volumes, i am sure. I have a small garden and grow Senecio confusus vine, Odontonema, Plumbago, Asclepias, Conoclinium, Jatropha multifida and integerrima, morning glories, Areca palms, zinnias, Dalechampia dioscoreifolia (from Costa Rica), Cestrum nocturnium, Murraya, Hibiscus, Ixora coccinea, Cosmos, Jasmine, Justicia, Cornutia grandifolia (from Costa Rica), parsley, and probably a few other things that i am not thinking of at the time. Amazingly enough i found many of the seeds i used to start these plants from vendors in the UK...very keen gardeners, the British. Many of these plants are grown in northern climes as annuals, here they are perennials. Okay, now commit them all to your memory
