There are many beautiful flowers growing here in and around Palmgrove.  I just want to give you a glimpse of  these beauties.  Of course I don’t know any names, sorry.  Also, maybe Lance covered some of these in his former blogs; if so, well, you can look at them again.

Here is Emase with a water lily.  Funny part is, these beauties open when it gets dark and close when it gets light in the morning.  That is what I can figure out anyway.   When we go to the stream and it’s dark, they stand open.  They look so gorgeously white in the darkness.  They do have a faint fragrance which smells very fresh and sweet.

Here is a little fish Emase caught as he showed us the lily.

This is the flower of the banana. It is a strange growth.  Can’t say I see much beauty in it, but it sure produces a delicious fruit.  Anyhow, enjoy the pictures.  I could go through them and say each one is beautiful, but that would get rather repetitive. (Editor’s note: As far as I can see Leanne forgot to send us a picture of the banana flower. I don’t see any of the ones below being a banana flower. We’ll have to get her to send us one.)
