As you might have read in our story abour Villa Escudero, it's a plantation as well. So it does have a wide range of beautiful , tropical , flowers to photograph.

Here's just one of them. For tactical reasons I'm keeping the rest for the winter time, because spring is here and now many people are uploading flower shots. Also I'm using this floral intermezzo as a chapter break for the next chapter of our Villa Escudero serie.
