Tropical Flora

Tropical Flora

The plants here are NOT what I’m used to. I have spent most of my life in temperate zones, so living in a hot climate brings new challenges, adventures, and beauty.

Many of my plant photos are from walks – along the Malecon, around the neighborhood, etc.

These were in the yard at our previous rental house:

Who knew there were so many beautiful types of HIBISCUS?

And BOUGAINVILLEA?

And the other things, that I really don’t know what they are…

The BEST part is that many flowers here bloom year round.

Even my desert rose blooms through most of the year, and then goes CRAZY in the spring and summer. 😊

I consider myself fortunate to live in a place with such beauty. To be fair, some if it has spines that can REALLY hurt, but they always look gorgeous!
