Well, it seems like the color purple will be with us for a while longer. The flowers above are known colloquially as Flores de papel (paper flowers) because their petals are so dried that they look like if they were made from paper. I looked up the flower in the Guateflora book, but I did not find it there, so I can not help you with scientific name. Perhaps, some of the other visitors know its scientific name and can share it with us, anyone?

Simply beautiful. I’ve never seen flowers used in this manner. I also enjoy the architectural details presented here.

Thank you for your beautiful photos and all the information that comes with it! My daughter is in Antigua for almost two weeks now working as a volunteer. Your website is bringing me closer to her. I could see the buses she’s riding and places she might be walking… I wish I could be there too… especially now. I’m a frequent visitor on your site now, checking out your newest and old photos. They are amazing! Thanks again. —Aleksandra Kuchta
