We have had some significant rain recently and now the temperatures have risen to more normal levels. Jackfruits have started to ripen and many more will be ripening in the coming weeks. There were no Lychees this year, but the Longans have faired much better as they are developing on the trees now and should be coming into season later this month and early June. Mangos are also on their way.
The Stemmadenia littoralis (Milky Way) trees look particularly beautiful right now as well as the many different colored Bougainvilleas.
Feel free to come for a visit. We are open every day except Thursday from 8:00AM until 4:30PM.

What happened? It appears to be summer. Winter and spring
just passed us by.
The Cassia bakeriana is spectacular. It is in full bloom,
large pink cherry blossom like flowers, without any leaves. There is a small
picture posted from last week and as usual, pictures in the Plant Gallery
Section.
The butterflies are everywhere.
It was very interesting these past few months. The trees
that normally go dormant and lose all of their leaves retained some, such as,
the Royal Poincianas and Jacarandas. They haven't lost leaves and the Jacaranda
is blooming. Very unusual.
Naturally, some might point to Global Warming, but we'll
leave that for another time, and just enjoy the season and its abnormalities.
Most of our vegetables are gone, just a few celery and
cabbages left. We are presently gleaning the fields for our own consumption
presently.
