Editor’s note: Sometimes, discovering Mexico begins with noticing the smallest things. For writer Bel Woodhouse, a twisted scarlet seedpod sparked a return to sketching after 30 years—and a new identity as a botanical artist. In this edition, she shares how Mexico’s plants rekindled her creativity, then takes us into the wildflower-covered landscapes of the central highlands, where cosmos, Mexican sunflowers and other blooms transform roadsides and hillsides into fields of color. Together, these stories invite us to slow down, look closely and discover the beauty that can turn an everyday encounter with nature into something extraordinary.
