More Cool Stuff found in the Garden


Here's some more cool things I found in the gardens around the hotel. This first on is actually a small tree but has "vine like" branches and the flowers on it just bloomed. It is crazy and wild looking with these long tendrils that shoot out of the main flower petals.

This next one was given to us by our neighbor who dug a bunch out of her yard. They are in a bucket of water right now and we'll need to get them planted right away. It is called "Mother in Law's Tongue" I know I have plenty of friends that would be happy to use them in an arrangement to give to their spouses' Mamas come May for Mother's Day!!

This last one is called, I think, a caterpillar plant. It has these long, bright red, fuzzy, dangly things that hang from the branches.

Back to today's project which was putting the third "layer" of glazing on the Dining Room wall. 3 down and ONLY 4 coats to go. What was I thinking???

Tonight we have a group of 8 people coming up for sunset cocktails. They are part of a dive group here and we're happy to have them up to see the place. So, I guess it's time to break from the sweat work, grab a shower and be ready to play bartender.

Happy Wednesday from Saba!!

The white tendril flower is really beautiful. Wonder what it is. Sure looks delicate.
