Naturalist Report 3: Flowers and Fungi

The last in this mini series of reports is on the various flowers found in the jungle and in the hotel garden. (Plus a fungus that was colourful enough to warrant a picture!) Again we don't know the names of these or if they have any special meaning to the environment but they do look nice when photographed up close:










Well I know that these reports haven't been as informative as a BBC documentary but then who ever listens to Dicky Attenborough when the pictures are colourful!

Dad (Keith) says - Marks out of 10 for telling me which flower is the Strelitzia Regina?

Mum (Michelle) says - If you get it wrong you go twice up the Inca Trail.
