I would like to take you through the garden at my friend's house in Panama. We went over the other day to let the kids play and I was drawn to taking some pictures while we were there. Let me start with my absolute favorite plant. I call them Lobster Claws, but I think they are really called Heliconias in Spanish. The first time I saw them was on my honeymoon in Costa Rica 11 years ago. I just love them. These are on my purchase list in the rainy season!
Then a most beautiful hibiscus plant. Its pink and purple coloring has this tie dye effect! She even gave me some cuttings of this plant, so I hope mine take root.
I'm not exactly sure what this plant is called but it looks like a lily to me. It reminds me of a Peace Lily that I used to always see in those huge planters at the mall. I think it's a magnificent plant. I need to get a bulb of this too!
Another beautiful hibiscus. Isn't the coloring just wonderful? My phone did a pretty good job of picking up the color, but it is so beautiful in person as well.
This bird of prey was found on the way to her house. Isn't it lovely? I don't know if it is a falcon or a hawk or what. It just sat there and let us take its picture as we drove by!
This horse just made a perfect picture! I thought it was so beautiful where he was standing. To get him to look at me, I had to "moo" really loudly. Every time I did, he looked at me! So pretty!
You even pass a small natural waterfall coming out of the side of the mountain on the bumpy road to her house. I just love the way it looks so tropical there, and they have a gorgeous house on top of that!
Can you believe these pictures were taken right before Christmas?
