Now they have so many birds of paradise flowers I am amzed!!

I love these flowers, we have them in Canada as a houseplant but here they grow all over the place and are so shiny and brilliant in the CR sunshine, you can't get the brilliance in a photo.

These again area hedge flower and I have no idea of the names. I asked the gardeners but they don't know.Maybe they don't understand English and I don't know how to ask yet in Spanish:)

These gardenias make the whole place smell wonderful, they are planted to hang over the rocks walls that go along deep ditches so in the rainy season the water can flow and not flood the grounds. They smell bloody awesome and in the mid afternoon heat they smell the best!!

This is a bouquet of flowers at our beach club, see how they folded over the leaves to fill in space, isn't it loverly?
