Jardín Botánico, Tenerife

Feb 21 – This morning we fortified ourselves with an extra cup of coffee, and set out to find the Botanical Garden. It isn’t too far, but it’s uphill all the way.

Up, up and up some more
Welcome to Jardín de Aclimatacion de la Orotava
They have irises here
…and orchids
…and things we’ve never seen before
Big trees
…and really big trees
…and should this be considered one tree? It looks like a bunch!
Round things
Pointy things
Lots of varieties packed into a small space – just one city block
Peace lilies floating in the pond
Jim watched to see if someone would trip over the tree roots…
…but no one did
Lots of pretty ferns
Jackfruit
A great day!
