Totally Tropical!

I know it has been about 10 days since I lasted posted (slap on the wrist has been administered!), drinking cocktails and lying in the sun probably doesn’t stand up as being a terribly good excuse.

I’m keeping it simple with pictures of some of the beautiful exotic plants I am discovering and the gorgeous cocktails I am sampling.  If anyone can recognise some of the flowers I am less familiar with I would love to know.

Weird hairy looking flowers

Plumbago

Don't know what these are yet but they have the most amazing scent.

Amar Divine

I’m actually drinking one of these as I type. It has white rum, orange juice, amaretto, a dash of grenadine and ice. Quantities yet to be confirmed once I have experimented back at home but feel free to experiment in the meantime because it is a great drink!
