I tend to take a lot of pictures of flowers. I don’t really know what drives me to do it…
Anyway, here are a few of the many flowers that cover Bermuda. Despite being very lush, Bermuda is so carefully groomed. It’s really a beautiful island. And flowers everywhere…
I usually stick to taking pictures of wild flowers, since "domesticated" flowers are expected to be gorgeous. But there were just soooo many pretty flowers….
The most ubiquitous, as in the Caribbean, are the hibiscus. I found several variations:
An amazing variety of flowers around the grounds of the guest house & cottages. I don’t know the names of any of them, excepting the morning glories (which I didn’t catch quite early enough - starting to wilt).
A couple of flowers at the national aquarium:
Back to my usual habit of photographing the wildflowers…
It is amazing that these plants can actually grow on the prevalent volcanic rock, much less produce flowers (albeit tiny flowers). The first three share the succulent leaves of desert plants…
Well, that’s all for now. Tomorrow I’ll try to actually document our trip and activities…
And, just maybe, I’ll write a bit about my trip to Germany…
