No math, but Puerto Rico

So I live here, I like it, here’s a fun view of PR:

But here are some pics:

The bullfrog in the dog dish.

The coqui (very small puertorrican frog that says “cock – ee”. I can hear one now.

And what the dog did with an iguana !

 

A change from math – my garden in Puerto Rico

Ten years ago I came to Puerto Rico, to Mayaguez on the west coast, to a house with the usual vast expanse of nicely trimmed grass. Now I have the controlled jungle I always wanted. More time spent cutting things back or down than spent trying to get things to grow.

One leaf like this each year. A less successful part of the jungle.

My flamboyan tree. Best year ever for flowers.

And here from underneath.

The monster plant. From 1 foot to 6 feet in 8 years, and prickly.

Ginger. Later the flower grows baby plants and more flowers.

Small apple bananas. Guineo manzano. Up to 300 on one stalk.

I don’t know the name of this one, but it is 6 feet high and growing.

Definitely not weed.

Voyager palm, it flowered three times this year.

A fancy bromelia.
This is a fern, tree sized, with its annual one foot high flower.

There’s more, but I have to go out and cut some strays.

I am quite sure that there is math growing here, waiting to be spotted.
