once again

Since no one else is trying on your ID question, Angela, I'll tell you what I was told

I was told they are Bocote Trees. Others may know something else.

Bocote trees (Cordia alliodora) have white blooms, and here they tend to bloom right around Día de Muertos or towards the end of the year, though I have seen individual trees bloom at other times of the year.

I wonder if the red blooming trees are cotton trees (Bombax ceiba)?

from rj last year "i believe they are called Roble in Spanish pronounced Ro-blay. The wild ones flower earlier than the domestic ones planted in various boulevards around comer and the salinas."

Ah yes, we did do this last year. If locals call it roble then I believe the tree is the roble morada aka roble rosado aka roble de sabana aka Tabebuia rosea. I posted a photo of one last year in Ixtapa.

It has changed but still a beautiful place and for me, I find it still the best value for Canadians. I also love the fact there is something for almost everybody in Mexico , depending on the destination and this place is perfect for me as it's a great place to relax and recharge the batteries while enjoying some great food in awesome settings...You will have a good time and February is even better as I normally come here the last 2 weeks of February and find it the perfect time for us Winnipeggers as I feel it cuts the winter in two and we have 6 weeks left of it when I get home...
