Bromeliad (Cuba)
I spotted this bromeliad growing out of a wall. It was so interesting to see them growing outdoors and to observe how they respond to a dry period.
Davin took a photo of me standing next to the same bromeliad because I have this dumb tourist thing about having my picture taken with plants I like. Some people reserve these sorts of “I was there!” snaps for popular destinations, I on-the-other-hand want to remember the moment I saw my first flowering agave, tree fern, wild-growing orchid, or tillandsia etc.
Comments OffCactus Garden (Santiago de Cuba)
I took this photograph only two months ago in Cuba, which is kind of hard to believe given that it feels more like 2 years ago! I decided to pull this photo up today as a reminder to myself of what it was like to experience sunshine, warm breezes and so much greenery. Thankfully I am going to Austin, TX in a couple of days and am literally counting the hours and minutes until my feet touch the ground without the aid of moon boots and several layers of protective clothing. And to top it off I will be visiting a number of fantastic gardens to photograph for the Green Minds Project. I can’t wait!
