Another observation from my daughter was about the varied kinds of leaves. And she's right--there are a lot of different plants here. And even the familiar ones are different. The tropical ones that live in the house most of the year at home grow by the roadside (snake plant for example). Poinsettia can be six feet tall or more, they just keep on going! Next to that poinsettia may be a very large, leggy geranium. I asked one taxi driver about annuals and perennials, and I think he was perplexed. It doesn't freeze here, so they just keep growing and growing.
My favorite tree is a shorter, very elegantly shaped one with white to purple blossoms. It's amazing. This is kind of a large one. It's called a potato tree.
Just for fun, here is another big plant. We pass it each day on the way to school.
And another...
So thankful for the amazing variety in creation!
