Hi,

Previously I told some of you about certain aspects of our garden. For example, I’m pretty sure that I mentioned the ubiquitous green and purple plant that is succulent and juicy enough to be useful in extinguishing a fire–a fire of brush and garden debris, for example.

Junior (ah, remember Junior?) and I spent the better part of a week building a monster pile of this stuff and I’m only now getting it to smolder away. That was 3 or 4 weeks ago, and the garden is overgrown again, but this time it’s in bloom. Salmon and red and purple and yellow and orange and more reds: the blossoms are phenomenal. The lavender orchid growing in the crotch of a tree beside the wooden walk winding down the hill has been in bloom for more than a month that I know of.
And even though this property is fairly small (a little less that 1,000 sq. meters) there is a panoply of plants that I’ve yet to fully comprehend. That innocent-looking but savage little holly-like leaf that raised a blistering welt, for one.

But my favorite was taking a break from painting the other day and looking up and seeing: Bananas.

Mind you, this is a big plant and the hand of bananas is itself quite large. And it’s 30 feet from our front door. And it was a surprise. Just when I was believing that I had it all mapped out, I stumble on a banana tree peering from beside the A-frame guest bungalow.

It’s better bananas than another bed of the devil holly plant, that’s for sure.

When I lived in Portland and again in Seattle I planted apple trees on our property, and we always enjoyed the fruit. Never in my wildest imaginings did I suspect that at some point we’d have bananas growing in the yard. But there you have it.

Life and gardening sure take some interesting turns.

I’ll keep you posted.

    This plant is astonishingly prolific, even for the Caribbean. And it contains enough moisture to effectively smother all but the best-built burn piles. Some people think it’s the plant responsible for the scar on my leg (allegedly also a function of season, temperature, and/or time of day, depending on who is telling the story.)

    I blame a different, less common plant for the wound. But I still resent the smothering capabilities of this guy.
