Plants

I never knew before this trip that bananas flowered.  I do suppose that all plants which produce fruit must flower-- I just never thought about it-- but now I've seen it.    And the flower is  purple and I'm not sure if it opens any more or not.

I've seen coconuts growing before, but this trip we saw yellow, green and brown coconut fruit.  Different ripeness, I'm thinking.  Pastor Aaron told us that there are "regular" coconuts and "sweet" coconuts.

The tree outside the window of my hotel room had a green fruit that in the week we were there turned purple and looked "plum-ish", but had not pit,  so who knows what they are.

We saw hibiscus, cannas, roses, and other flowering plants.  All in all the foliage was thick and lush.
