Gardens Of The Tortuguero Lodge

The Tortuguero Lodge in Costa Rica,where my friends and I stayed, features brilliantly colored flowers in their garden.  They are, for the most part, various types of ginger, ti plants, heliconias, bromeliads, and orchids.

 
 Heliconia

 Very striking color and shape 

Remarkable form and color

The flowers speak for themselves.

As a designer color, it could be called, Intensely Red.

Jungle Orchids

What a great lipstick ad.

Heliconias are exotic flowers.

The center flower is an exotic heliconia.

 While the shown flower forms are different, what do they all have in common?
They all appear in designer colors.

Designer Palms

This is a picture of a well dressed tree.

Fantastic orchids with tin pipe

Check out the blog called Nature's Gardens. It shows scenes on the
Tortuguero River.
