    Why are some so-called contributors to this page so empty-brained? Not even straw-brained. With the kind of comments they make, such as those from Honey Barger and derp, one wonders why some of us in this little land of ours are so negative!!

    That said, I think that Cherese Martin should be complimented for this great shot. Although she missed the peak-bloom (a day or two before she took the photo), the collection of fallen flowers on the ground is what really makes the shot.

      No, bwa kwaib is endemic to Dominica. Bwa Kwaib is a tree, Hibiscus is a plant.

      Hibiscus :hibiscus rosa-sinensis
      Bwa kwaib: sabinea carinalis
      The first is a shrub, the second is a TREE. Get your facts straight or STFU.
