Like Here, Only Different ~ Tra La the Flowers of Winter

Technically it is Winter now in Las Piedras.  There were few flowering shrubs or vines about and I imagine those that do bloom, do so high in the treetops.  The walking paths were often littered with individual blossoms blown down.

So here is a bit of random pretty.

The end of a Banana Tree blossom.




Hibiscus





Dry and sleepy looking, don't you think?




These were particularly common.  I thought they were Balsa but I understand Balsa blooms white.




This was blooming along a main trail.  I saw it as we returned to camp one day and never saw it again.  It looks like the stamens are loaded with sugar droplets.  I am sure a butterfly moth or hummingbird found this most wonderful.



This has some characteristic of a Rosa sp.



Not sure if this is a seed pod or a flower.




These blossoms were everywhere on the jungle floor.
