A great place for nature lovers and gardeners to visit as there is so much to see and explore. 3 weeks wasn't nearly enough. Allison: GO!

I just watched a program on it on PBS last weekend and I was thinking it might be at the top of my list for places to go visit soon! Thanks for sharing about it!

Can you give me some advice? I was also wondering if any of your readers are from Rome? Thanks. Ciao Gayla,

Dear Gayla, if you must post a photo of the giant centipedes you encounter in Dominica, please put a warning at the beginning of the post ;) Strangely enough, I am quite fond of millipedes though, small or big! Look forward to your next post! Although I am a complete insect geek (I think bark beetles are cute), I am deathly afraid of centipedes (and heck, they’re not even insects anyway!).

When I saw the 1st pic of the tillandsia the commentary in my head was pretty much what you posted after the last picture. Those things are so expensive around here. I wonder if those people know they have like $40 dollars just laying around on the ground under the tree. What an awesome post!

Now that I live in Northern CA, I know the truth: Panama made it easy. What you said about trying to get things NOT to grow is the truth.

After reading Linda's post, all this makes me wonder how big the bugs are. Can you post a photo of one (if you dare get close)? I can’t get over the size of the bamboo and the seed pod.

And yes, why on earth do we bother with trying to replicate what is so perfectly and naturally achieved somewhere else?
