Combretums are very impressive plants, and this one is definitely one of the brightest of them. Powder-puff flowers are multi-colored: yellow, orange, and red. When in bloom, this vining shrub is all covered with them, looks like a fire. Can be trimmed as a shrub or grows as a vine with support when you let it go.
We were lucky to see three different monkeys in the area around our hotel. This lone Spider Monkey was captured in the "Thinking" pose!
"Colors change: in the morning light, red shines out bright and clear and the blues merge into their surroundings, melting into the greens; but by the evening the reds loose their piquancy, embracing a quieter tone and shifting toward the blues in the rainbow. Yellow flowers remain bright, and white ones become luminous, shining like ghostly figures against a darkening green background."
- Rosemary Verey, The Scented Garden, 1981
I love the photo of the monkey - just looking at the evening.

The vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus), or simply vervet, is an Old World monkey of the family Cercopithecidae native to Africa. The term "vervet" is also used to refer to all the members of the genus Chlorocebus. The five distinct subspecies can be found mostly throughout Southern Africa, as well as some of the eastern countries. These mostly herbivorous monkeys have black faces and grey body hair color, ranging in length from about 50 centimetres (20 in) for males to about 40 centimetres (16 in) for females.
In addition to very interesting behavioral research on natural populations, vervet monkeys serve as a nonhuman primate model for understanding genetic and social behaviors of humans. They have been noted for having human-like characteristics, such as hypertension, anxiety, and social and dependent alcohol use. Vervets live in social groups ranging from 10 to 70 individuals, with males changing groups at the time of sexual maturity. The most significant studies done on vervet monkeys involve their communication and alarm calls, specifically in regard to kin and group recognition and particular predator sightings.
FAMILY : Combretaceae

The Grivet Monkey is only found in the Horn Of Africa. This one was seen in Awash, Ethiopia and approached closely as it watched us eating our al fresco meal.
Monkeys are common to be spotted in the streets of Rishikesh. This image was captured during my stay at Into The Unknown Hostel near Laxhman Jhula, Rishikesh. It was ironic, because the painting below the fencing ‘Monkey Crossing’, was painted the same day I captured this image.
The green monkeys found in Barbados originally came from Senegal and the Gambia in West Africa approximately 350 years ago. About 75 generations have occurred since these monkeys arrived in Barbados and, as a result of environmental differences and evolution, the Barbados monkeys today have different characteristics than those in West Africa.
The monkeys are found mainly in the parishes of St.John, St.Joseph, St.Andrew and St.Thomas, where much natural vegetation and woodlands still exist. However, monkeys can also be seen traveling through hotel grounds in St.Peter and St.James.
He's taking his first customer right out of the box. He's a sewing-slave.
That's his name. Slack A. Jack. I don't know what the A stands for, yet.
Present from Wedgeh! He's a true FRESH Cornwall monkey.
Vervet monkeys, also known as Chlorocebus pygerythrus, are medium-sized primates that live in Africa. They are native to the Old World and are the most widespread monkey on the continent. Vervets are found throughout Southern Africa, as well as some eastern countries, from Senegal to Ethiopia and south to South Africa.
