It was a great day to go to the Botanical Gardens. I got there extra early today. The humidity was stifling, but a cool breeze made it bearable. There are a lot of new plants being put in. Anxious to see them grown and blooming.
These are baby papayas growing on the tree in the picture below. |
These are actually little round purple peppers. |
I guessed that these were okra blossoms earlier. Now, the okra pods are showing, so there's no doubt. |
This white winged dove had strange coloration compared to the ones at my house. |
This is a rare redheaded mocking bird. He has either gotten berry juice on himself from eating condalia berries, or blood from a poke by a condalia thorn. I suspect the blood. There were about a dozen of these guys chowing down in the trees. He was the only redheaded one. |
The Blue Heron was still hanging out in the same place on the island. |
