http://antarcticiana.blogspot.com/2014/04/tropical-camouflage.html

A Brooklynite on the Ice. And champagne. But the one-time suburb has been all-but consumed by the Haitian capital's tremendous population growth; those seeking the tranquility of the forested highlands now need drive much farther uphill to find calm. On a trip last fall I was stunned to look up at this perilous, ever-evolving hillside and see a riot of color. Every tropical hue from the (hypothetical) Benjamin Moore Caribe. I asked our driver. Mateli te fel," he replied. President Martelly did it. Now, w...

The history of the place as a garden is very recent, as it used to be a sheep farm owned by the MacGregor family, going back to 1883. Sanbi acquired all land belonging to the farm in 2007, and actual management as a garden only started in March of this year. Sometimes the colors just distract you from the flowers! Eventually more Scientists and Botanists got involved in exiting projects ...

Tales of a Botany Geek. Sunday, March 29, 2009. On my recent short trip to Munich/Bavaria I took advantage of any time off to look again at the landscape I grew up with, but this time with my 'new' (botanically educated) eyes.

And yes - this is dairy country at it's best! 160;male catkin and female flower. Another native around here. The...

A Brooklynite on the Ice: October 2014

http://antarcticiana.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

A Brooklynite on the Ice. At the beginning of What We Don’t See. We would scarcely be able to see our own hands in front of our faces. What if all those signals flowing through the air are debilitating to our health and sanity?
