One of the great things about living in the tropics is how low-priced all the beautiful plants are in the ubiquitous nurseries (viveros). Just about three blocks from my house is a big wholesale nursery aptly named El Eden...it covers almost five acres, and is beautiful to walk through...like a botanical garden or tropical park...with groves of towering Royal Cuban Palms shading the plants.
Yesterday I bought a new plant for the office...here's a bit of the hike through the nursery that we had to take to locate the plant I wanted.
It's always hard to decide what to buy...there are so many tempting plants...here's what I took back to the office this time.
I forgot to ask the name. Some sort of Dracaena? Dracaena Reflexa maybe? What would this plant cost in the 'States or Canada? Here it was $100 pesos...about $8 USD. Maceta (planter pot) not included.
