We put a nice little weekend together.  On Saturday, we took the ten minute walk from our apartment to Jardin Botanico, an 18,000 square meter botanical garden in Parque Carolina.  There were many areas containing various trees, bushes, flowers, and cacti.  The highlight was definitely the Orchid rooms, which consisted of two separate greenhouses of differing climates.  Coming in as a close second was a humid greenhouse containing carnivorous plants.  In the slideshow, these are the tubular shaped flowers.  The two species below traps insects by either drowning them at the bottom of the flower or closing a lid, trapping the insect.  I’m definitely going to keep my head on a swivel in the jungle.
