Being a country in Central
America, one can expect to see many many beautiful flowers while out visiting
family homes and botanic gardens.
Here are only a few of the many plants that caught my attention while
visiting Guatemala in April.
There are hundreds more that
could be posted. These give you
the range of beauty found living happily in a country that is often referred to
as The
Land of Eternal Spring
Enjoy

The plant at the top is Strongylodon macrobotrys, commonly known as the Jade Vine. The aquamarine flowers are simply spectacular.
