Tropical Flora - This One's For You Mom (Grandma Mimi)

“Flowers… are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world”.  -Ralph Waldo Emerson 

One of the neatest things about living here is all the beautiful flowers we have seen while we are walking about.....these are but a few of them.

We learned the national flower of Honduras is the orchid and there are over 600 species!!  I think we've seen every color of hibiscus too.

The kids and I took a field trip a few miles away from our house to the Blue Harbor Tropical Arboretum.  It was so pretty and peaceful!  We had an awesome time exploring......

Lots of different plants, fruit trees, and flowers.   Even a few animals roaming about.

Cacao!!
