I would kill to have that kind of canopy.... Imagine the possibility of what you can grow under it!!! It is one of the oldest botanical garden in the world!! And it shows..... Did you go to the restaurant?? There was this ceiba that has came down... they kept the stump and planted a new one between the roots. It was massive!!!

sambal as hot as the surface of the sun which would burn most american children to a crisp we suddenly

emerge into the sun & see these amazing palms beckoning...

Ok, I'll try to do better with my comments. :D

Your croton is actually called Bogoriensis. Expect my bill in 7 working days.

Enjoying the pic's, it really looks like you had a great time. Maybe in this century sometime, you might want to join us all on a Biennial too. :D

Take care, is there more? :hmm:
