Anyone visiting the Caribbean for the first time cannot fail to be impressed by the richness and luxuriance of the vegetation. Many of the plants encountered produce colourful flowers, and most visitors soon become keen to develop a better acquaintance with some of the more common plants and their exotic blossoms.
All the photographs included in this book have been taken of plants growing in their natural surroundings in the Caribbean and one of the most striking features which immediately impresses visitors, is the abundance of flowering trees. They appear to be especially exotic when in blossom and the second section of this book is devoted to the most common of these flowering trees.
