El-T now that’s better and less controversial….LOL…I want a plant of the last pic hope Desmond will be nice to me
Isn’t it amazing that every time somebody post a picture of Dominica, everybody goes googoogaga over it. These same people never noticed the beauty of the island before they fled overseas.

Lovely, nice pic, oh btw, Is there still the annual flower show in Eggleston/Giraudel?
Well, they are working on a permanent site, but they do try to have something every other year
Thank you for the information. I believe I have an idea of the permanent site, which you talked about. I believe they started this site when I was there in 2008. But isn’t that a long time now?
thanks for the info,
All things bright and beautiful. All creatures great and small. These flowers are unique and beautiful. Each have their own special way.
Flowers never emit so sweet and strong a fragrance as before
a storm. When a storm approaches thee, be as fragrant
as a sweet-smelling flower.
Be as flowers we all must face the storm but in the morning we should put up our heads to face a day head on like a flowers rises with the sun.
beautiful
Okay! But if you had added “The Lord God made all” to give God the glory, He probably would have reminded you that if He made the flowers so beautiful, even if they are destroyed in a storm, how much beautiful He has made us, “human beings”
But unlike the flowers which are destroyed through a storm, it is also God’s strength in us that causes us to face the day, during our storms of Life, “head on like a flower rises with the sun”.
I truly love your wisdom! I just felt like flourishing it a bit, to give God the glory. I hope you do not mind me using your idea.
