A LITTLE MORE GUATEMALA PLEASE

Another helping of some of the plants in Guatemala.



I didn't wander around here as much as I usually do. It was the wet season and raining constantly.



I saw this bloom and really liked it's simplicity. We are talking Shibumi here. Don't know the name of it however.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I did recognize this one. It is a real Bird Of Paradise in bloom.



Or Strelitzia Reginae if you must know.



Propagated by division 1-2 years to flower. By seed we are talking 3-5 years to flower. I suspect that is why these guys are so expensive.



The poor man's alternative is Heliconia Psittacorum for my backyard. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Some type of lilly growing from a bulb. Kinda reminds me of an orange cream Popsicle.





These guys look real familiar like Home Depot plants but I could be wrong.

I don't recall seeing a home depot in Guatemala but there probably is. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A flashy bedding plant planted used as landscaping.



I'm sure that every gardener knows the name of this one.



So sure in fact that I will not insult you by providing the name.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a large Guatemalan tree with red blooms. As you can see it is large, a tree and you can take my word for it that it is in Guatemala. Did I mention it has red blooms.



This large Guatemalan tree's name is on the tip of my tongue. Unfortunately the name is not forthcoming.



So for now and forever hence or until my memory reboots it shall be known as, "El Jeffe Roho Grande".
