The flaring roots of a Kapok tree (𝘊𝘦𝘪𝘣𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘢). It is St. Croix's largest tree species and many know it locally as the "Monkey No Climb", given the large thorns. This amazing tree has many names! It produces silky cotton-like fibers giving it another name "Silk Cotton Tree" and over on Puerto Rico and other Spanish-speaking islands, it's known as the Ceiba tree.

You can learn even more about this fascinating tree on our Youtube Channel in our "In the Garden with Dewey" series. Don't forget to subscribe to our channel so you never miss an episode!

One of Dewey's favorite #bromeliads is gorgeously

One of Dewey's favorite #bromeliads is gorgeously symmetrical with streaked markings. The giant 𝘈𝘭𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘢 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴 "Burle Marx" is named for Brazil's most famous garden designer.
.
Be sure to look for them in the #SGVBG Succulent and Bromeliad Garden on your next visit!

This is 𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴 'Heaven Scent' also called Tahitian gardenia or tiaré flower. The double Tahitian gardenia has double the fragrance and flower size of the species but about half the growth rate. .
The name is a bit of a misnomer as it is actually not native to Tahiti. The plant originates from Melanesia and Western Polynesia. It is an aboriginal introduction to the Cook Islands and French Polynesia and possibly Hawaii.
.
The fragrant flower is one of those commonly used to make flower necklaces known as #Ei in the Cook Islands, #Hei in Tahiti or #Lei in Hawaii
