Things I learnt on my holidays: the Dominican Republic

Having finally sorted through our holiday snaps, here are the horticultural highlights of our little Caribbean adventure...


Bourgainvilla looks pretty spectacular growing wild.. reminds me a bit of hawthorn from a distance.











Mother-in-law's-tongue makes a pretty good fedge (fence/hedge).












I really need this Alocasia/Colocasia that grows everywhere around the El Choco National Park.











..and I liked these horizontal trellises that squash plants were being grown upon. Looks like a very good idea to me.
