SOME COSTA RICA TROPICALS

Some more pictures of the tropical plants in Costa Rica from earlier this month. All of these photos were taken in the Tortuguero National park . This is a Heliconia plant in bloom. I had some of these in my front yard before that I bought from Home Depot. They did well up until it got cold here. They are the poor mans Bird of Paradise plant.

Another cool tropical that I want for my backyard. I found the name on the internet after some searching . It is called a Chenille plant or more correctly Acalypha Hispeda.

This plant really draws attention to it with it's red fuzzy tails.

This one is going on my wish list.-------------------------------sanddune------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
