Here is another one of the flowers in the gardens around our Langosta Beach condo. These flowers are huge and spindly. They remind me of a feather duster. Following up on my post from the last two days, before Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla visited Washington, D.C., she stopped off in the San Francisco Bay area. She met with the CEO of Intel, as Intel is responsible for 3 - 4% of Costa Rica's gross domestic product. She also met with 30 biotech industry executives, visited and spoke at the Stanford Business School, visited Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory of the University of California at Berkeley to discuss renewable energy, met with Condoleezza Rice, and more. She is obviously focused on attracting business investment for Costa Rica.
Today is Sunday, so we have new photos posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. This week we are showing wildlife and scenery from the Serengeti Plain in Tanzania.

the colors make me think of the south of france.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty striking flower, Dave. The Costa Rican President is making the rounds of some pretty potent places. I wonder if she stopped at a local pub and had a Guinness along the way.
ReplyDeleteThey do look like feather dusters. The president of Costa Rica had a very full visit to the US. I'm hoping it proves a huge benefit for her country!
ReplyDeleteVery delicate color and blossom, wonder if the humming birds and butterflies enjoy this.
ReplyDeleteThese flowers are wonderful. I've always wanted to go to Costa Rica
