What is Growing

Easy-sticking succulent ground cover with a pretty little flower.
Ive learned a lot about plants here in Guatemala, a lot about propagation.  Luckily, it has to be one of the easiest places on the planet to garden and make new plants.  What is most amazing to me is that for many species, you can simply cut a piece of aomething and stick it in the ground and wait.  Just when start to feel like a real asshole because of the stick thats been sticking out of the ground in your garden for month doing nothing, surely dead, it pops, and a little pointy green tip comes out of it and soon you will have a leaf and now you have a new plant.  This has happened in the net two photos, and its happening all over the place around my house.  I put in as many as possible while we had good rain and in the future I can propagate or move these plants as I see fit.
Bouganvillea starting up.  This will climb up into the fence.  It has spikes and a brightly colored brack(?) around a small white flower.  Also some nice plastic fertilizer in there.
