There were so many different species of plant life (and animal too) in this park. I was fortunate to be able to see plants that I had never seen before and thankfully many of them had signs stating what they were – and in one case to not stand under the tree after a rain because the sap was caustic. Nice tree! This plant was near where all of the heliconia varieties were growing. I have no idea what it is and would appreciate any help in identifying it. But it was so interesting looking that I had to take the shot.

What in the heck is that tree? How unusual!! It’s nice they have signs to warn you against being smeared with caustic sap…ANOTHER reason to visit Grand Cayman!! 😀 –Lisa
Well there is the gorgeous 7mile beach to visit and swimming with stingrays and going to Hell (that is a town there,seriously!) and the blow holes… 🙂
Interesting to say the least!
That’s what I aim for 😉
How unusual is that? I hope someone can identify it for you. I’d love to see it in “full bloom”, if that isn’t it already.
Darn! I just remembered someone did have one like it on their blog and I said thanks for naming it but can’t recall who 😦
I think I found it! It is a variety of costus…I’m pretty sure.
