St. Lucia's Rain Forest Plants
| The rain forest plants are varied and there was no way to take pictures of them all. I tried to get a few, though. | |
|
The largest of these mushrooms was probably the size of a dime. They were growing right next to the path. |
| We tend to think of bamboo in terms of delicate little branches with tiny leaves which are eaten by Giant Pandas. This is a different variety of bamboo. Definitely not delicate. It was too tall to get a photo of the top of the plants. | |
| The quality of this photo isn't the best. It was taken with a telephoto lens. The tree is being surrounded by a rust-colored "Strangler" vine. The whole process will take about 10-13 years and by the time the tree dies, the vine will be strong enough to stand by itself. | |
