plants forming canoppy betwix the Amazuri river, on our trip to the silt village called Nzulezo, in Ghana's western region.
MY NAME IS FRANCIS PAINTSIL FROM GHANA, I am an Information Technology Analyst at GHANA’S MINISTRY OF ENERGY. Aside this is my intense interest in tourism.
My wetland experience was in a silt village called Nzulezo built on top of the Amansuri River located in the Jomoro district in the Western Region of Ghana. It was an intriguing scene! We met a whole village built with raffia about 5 feet on top of the river with connecting walk ways. All the daily activities of life including house chores, burial, worship and schooling occur on the river. Even children there own a boat and they are never afraid of drowning. Traditional village life is adapted to the watery conditions to the amazement of any visitor.
Our trip to the Nzulezu was made by canoe with a tour guide paddling the canoe along. The serene ambiance of the surrounding landscape coupled with the general activities of life point to a dynamic relationship between man and nature.
Despite the fact that Nzulezo has great potential as a tourist site, the community is a deprived one which lacks basic amenities such as electricity and clean water. There is only one primary school there and if the children want to continue their education, they need to travel about 500 km each day by canoe to attend school. My friends and I decided to support the community after meeting and interacting with the chief and elders. We first wrote to the Ministry of Energy and we received great help from the Deputy Minister of Energy, Emmanuel Kofi Buah who provided the village with solar light. Secondly, we put up an Information Communication Technology center in the community to train the youth. The ICT building is built with raffia and equipped with six Dell Optiplex computers and a 3-in one printer.
Finally, we developed a website: www.nzulezo.com to help reach out both internationally and locally for support for the community.
Nzulezu is a beautiful tourist and wetland destination and it would be my joy and pleasure to see this attraction bring people from far and near to experience the town built on a river. This is my motivation for joining the wetland day!
This shot is inside the plant, down by #2 Sander. I wish I had more shots to show but at the time I was young and definitely not thinking about the future!

Pot plants growing in my garden 29 May 2021 taken with an iPhone SE what better way to brighten up your garden and day?
There are already so many pictures about raps plants uploaded - but not from everybody. Today It's my turn.:))
The top half of the picture are tree reflections, the bottom half are pond plants. @ the Fern Hill wetlands.
Last May we got an interesting flower pot at the farmer's market in Saratoga, California. Now it blooms again, it looks like the flower pot is on fire with the lotus berthelotii, also called parrot's beak, and lotus vine flower.

At the other end of the spectrum, this plant world miniature, ground carnivorous plant wasn't all that far from the Fig Bird. These were so tiny as to be almost invisible unless down on all fours. They were alive in one little moist area about a metre square beside the track and that was it. I guess they eat ants! Or other small insects that blunder into them of course...ants are close!
Thanks to Basil for identifying this as a Sun Dew.
