Barbados sites

Here is some coconuts that had been cut from the trees on the Almond beach resort. The guys who were climbing the trees were not allowing people to take pictures of them climbing up.. in their barefeet ouch... but got a good picture of the coconuts once they were chopped down.
These lovely orange flowers were everywhere on the island, and fantastic for ideas for a quilt .. the flower petals are sooo perfect and colour to dye for . At the resort there is also a little mongoose that lived under the floorboards of the open air restaurant ... and if you threw little bits of food he would come and steal it for himself and babies below I think . He wasnt really shy as I got a few pictures of him.

Bajan flowers and sites


Wow can you guess what this is ???
This second picture is a banana flower or umm maybe its from the travelers palm.. must look this up (and seeing that I love this so plant so much ... I am surprised the name escapes me) .If anyone is the wiser please do enlighten me. The third picture is in the same family as Bird of paradise plant and the last picture is one taken from Oistins in Barbados.
