Eco Tours

Waking up with ants in my pants (a saying, I really didn’t have ants in my pants) I decided to take a walk around the Jamaican farm that we were staying on.  Within a few steps of the farm I noticed beautiful Jamaican flowers all over the place.  These flowers were not planted in pots or rows, these just grew on their own.  It was hard to venture in any direction without see flowers in bloom.

I somehow managed to take a few hundred pictures of the flowers without every thinking of getting their names!  If you can name these flowers, please leave a comment so I can put a proper title on them- until then they are just “Jamaican Flowers”.

This is my favorite flower, the actual head on it is only about an inch wide but you can pick up on how it glows from about 30 yards away.  It reminds me of little LED lights.

On this flower the leaves compete with the blooms!  If you look at the lower left you can see how the leaf colors stick out more than the blooms.  I will have to return to Jamica in order to get a few photos of the flower in full bloom.
