This is one last look at my winter holiday in Barbados. I had planned to photograph a flower for every day of my two week stay, but since many of my pictures were of leaves and fruit and berries, i've decided to widen the scope and make this 14 days of botanical interest.
All I have to do now is identify everything!

Well done!
So nice of you to share your photos, almost makes me feel like I was there.........almost :-)
The agave is either Agave 'Joe Hoak' or Agave desmettiana mediopicta 'Quick Silver...it's on my wish list!
Hi Jonas, I was inspired by your recent Facebook postings.
Hi Laura,
Nothing like being there, is there?
maybe we can organize a trip to Richters to brighten up our Northern winter days?
Hi Loree,
I thought it might be you who could answer my question. Thanks.
Barbados has a rich gardening tradition, I wish I'd taken pictures of the Cactus and Succulent section, it was excellent. Great looking Agaves
Such an array of colours! Let's have a fiesta! The red flowers against the chocolate foliage is an Episcia cultivar.
Hi Erika,
I wondered about that. It looked a bit deferent from the species I've seen.
