Mayan tree of life
Made by Plant Design Online
This ceramic bowl, depicting the Mayan tree of life, might have held maize or other seeds in a ceremonial offering of the ancient Maya. From the Museum of Culture and Anthropology in Merida, Yucatan. It depicts the Ceiba tree, which was central to ancient Mayan mythology and spirituality. For pictures of the tree, see: and www.flickr.com/photos/22887580@N06/3971767943/


Squash fruit pottery
Made by Plant Design Online
This ceramic bowl covered in glyphs of ancient Mayan is shaped like a squash fruit you can still see in traditional Mayan markets today. Squash, beans, maize, and various fruits were the essential non-meat components of the ancient and not-so-ancient Mayan diet. This bowl might have held maize or other seeds in a ceremonial offering of the ancient Maya. From the Museum of Culture and Anthropology in Merida, Yucatan.


Church detail, Merida
Made by Plant Design Online
Compare the detail on the left from the main church in Merida with botanical (corn, tree of life, etc.) or abstract details from Puuc site architecture. The Spanish conquerers built their churches on Mayan sites with stones from those sites. Doubtless the worker/slaves who built these churches were Mayans. So it's no surprise that traditional symbols show up here.


Fig fiber paper
Made by Plant Design Online
Fig trees are common in the Yucatan, and one of their uses was as a source of paper. These fibers were processed according to ancient tradition to make a paper similar to that of hundreds of years ago. Mayan scribes used a form of hieroglyphics to denote dates and other information. From the Museum of Culture and Anthropology in Merida, Yucatan.

Massive Clouds, Merida
Made by Plant Design Online
A great sky over the city in the heat of the afternoon. These clouds could produce an inch of rain in a few minutes. The Yucatan has traditionally depended upon rainfall to replenish its underground aquifer, especially during the summer monsoon, for water since there is almost no standing water at ground level.


Floral detail in Merida
Made by Plant Design Online
The same flower (Tajonal) that we see throughout the Puuc Mayan sites. It grows in abundance on every roadside and the bees use it intensively to make honey. See also: and www.flickr.com/photos/22887580@N06/3215693380/


Maya Chaya
Made by Plant Design Online
The chaya plant is endemic to the Yucatan Peninsula, and widely cultivated there. This member of the plant family Eurphorbiaceae produces a spinach-like leaf rich in nutrients. Chaya contains poisons that are easily removed by cooking and it is widely used in Mayan cuisine.


Peoples' Progress Microfinance
Made by Plant Design Online
All over the Yucatan, microfinance activities support small businesses, many of which depend on tricycles like this to transport people, goods, and services. This is part of an exhibition at the Merida Art Museum highlighting local industry and progress.


Bromeliad
Made by Plant Design Online
One of a million epiphytes we saw growing on larger host plants. Epiphytes take no nutrients from their hosts and use them exclusively as a surface from which to grow. A bromeliad, this epiphyte is related to pineapples and Spanish moss (Tillandsia).


Ancient Striations

Merida Parking Lot
Made by Plant Design Online
In central Merida the blocks go deep in and many of them have been converted into parking lots. We went everywhere in southern Mexico by bus but most of the people around us were traveling by private vehicles, often SUVs.


Beaux artes decoration
Made by Plant Design Online
A detail in the Museum of Culture and Anthropology in Merida, Yucatan. We can think about the culture of the designers of this early 20th century building with as much interest as we consider the Mayan artifacts inside.


How Merida Looks
Made by Plant Design Online
The city of Merida is a wonderful experimental pallet of color, texture, and line. The interplay of all of these on so many of the buildings, both colonial and newer, provides the city with a vibrant life and light.


Mayan jaguars
Made by Plant Design Online
Jaguars were highly symbolic to the ancient Maya. Interesting to me that these two jaguars are kind of connected to the tree (of life?) depicted here. From the Museum of Culture and Anthropology in Merida, Yucatan.
