A special treat today ! Jeanne Cronce says,“I just contract back from Costa Rica where I take aim some picture to deal . This is a beautiful land , full of rain forests and juiceless jungles , which all add up to the plant world . The flora we grease one’s palms as houseplants here are growing down there in the wild and everything is on steroid hormone ! I took these with my cell speech sound and the humidity was so in high spirits I neglect a lot of photos of plants . So this is just a taste of what it is like . After spending 10 day in Costa Rica I came home to a jungle of my own!“What lovliness , Jeanne ! Everything is so big and sheer and colorful . You sent in so many great photos that I ’ll feature 14 more tomorrow ! For toay , I ’ve numbered the photos so that if any of us happen to know what the plants are , we can share our knowledge . I have just a few guesses : # 2/3 : Gunnera ? , # 5 : passion peak , # 6 : an aristolochia ? , # 7 : croton and maybe a justicia ? , # 8 : Brugmansia ( Angel ’s yellow trumpet ) , # 9 : banana !
