Today, we visited the National Tropical Botanical Gardens, specifically the Allerton Garden which is part of it. Lots of interesting plants. I have notes which I will share when there's time. But in the meantime, pictures. Click to enlarge.

Our tour group - two Canadians from Winnipeg, Penny and our guide.
Allerton was a very wealthy man who created a fancy and very interesting garden with fountains and sculptures. Here's Penny with a mermaid.
The most important bush in the world - cacao!
That's a cacao pod! Be still my beating heart.
The Georgie O'Keefe/Emily Carr roots of the banyan trees
ribbons of root - fantastic
Penny and I nestled in the banyan.
Jurassic Park was shot on this island and these trees were featured.
