Back from Costa Rica

Hi, everyone,
I was in Costa Rica last week! Had a blast. All the plants I watered as an interior landscaper are trees down there. Here's a few pix of some of the native flora!

Must have been a really nice trip. This is the time of year when I want to plant a hardy palm outside, but the urge usually passes when spring actually arrives.

We had a great time. The Pacific ocean was warm, the volcanoes were scenic and not erupting, and the food was great. And lots and lots of great plants!

The orchids are awesome.....would love to be there this time of year, not only for the plants, but for the birds!
