Beautiful Bali Botany & Bugs
There are so many amazingly beautiful plants and flowers here in Bali. I know I'm kind of going overboard with the long posts of photos, but I just couldn't resist! My uncle, who is a Botany Professor, would be very proud. :)
Leave comments about which ones are YOUR favs! And let me know if you know the names of any of these, cuz I sure don't!
Baby Papayas
Full-grown Papaya tree. Yum!
This spider was so weird!! This is a view from the top.
And here's a shot of his face. Say cheese!
This is a mango tree. Can you see the mangos? Yeah, these trees are EVERYWHERE. This one is just hanging out by the traffic light. I'm always tempted to hop off the motorbike while we're stopped and go pick some!
Water Lilies
JP even saw a little frog just kickin' it on a lilypad! But he must be camera shy because he hopped away before I could snap a photo.
These are guavas.
Some of the palm trees here fan out like this. They look so cool!
Cocoa Plant (in the orange circle)
The cocoa part inside is actually soft until they lay it out to dry.
Grains of Rice
Butterfly
Not sure what kind of bug this is...
The tiny leaves on this palm tree are like delicate lace. It was so pretty to watch them flutter in the gentle breeze.
These purple flowers are very hard, firm flowers. Weird.
Wow, so beautiful!! Here's what I know the names of: the pic under the spider face looks like bamboo. 2 pics down from that is plumeria and 4 pics down from that one is plumeria, too, AND three pics down from the 2nd plumeria is a plumeria tree! The flower under the second plumeria flower is a hibiscus and you have another hibiscus 3 up from the bottom. Right above the last hibiscus is bougainvillea. That first flower is really amazing.
ReplyDeleteawesome, thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteWhatever Becky says is what I say! There's also a couple bromeliads in there, and some moss, milkweed, pandanas, and dracaena. Way to go! Kelly
