Flowers in Bloom in Jamaica
10 Sep 2008
I loved how this plant staggered it’s blooms so it could always show off something nice. The flowers in Jamaica have pride just like the Jamaican people!
These two photos are from in front of the farm that we stayed in the the mountains of Jamaica. By the end of the week both of these flowers ended up with dead blooms for some reason.
I’ll try to post another picture of this flower, I just love how the bloom is made up of several little flowers that make it appear as one large bloom.
This emerging bloom tried it’s best to provide me with a few photos, over the week that I was there it came out a little more each day. On my next visit I plan to attempt to time lapse this Jamaican flower.

The 4th pic… posted here… is that of the ‘lantana’ plant. This plant is one of the seven desert plants that is recommended for people who want desert plants that are perennial.

Thanks, Roshmi! I’ve been a little lazy posting my collection from my last trip and I’m always lazy labeling any of my flower pictures.

the 2nd and 3rd flowers are pink ginger plants. these come in red and white as well and are found all over the island but normally in wet areas around rivers and ponds.
