Ajijic Downtown is a colorful place, surrounded by bars, restaurants and tourists. One of the great pleasures of life in Ajijic, whether you’re here for a weekend or decide to pull up northern stakes and settle south of the border, is the enormous variety of constantly-blooming flowers in public and private gardens throughout the area. You will see enormous outdoor examples of plants that only grow in the parlor in colder climes, wonderful exotics that you never knew existed, and the ordinary annuals and perennials made larger-than-life and memorable by the Mexican sun washed temperatures.
