Description
Many years ago I meandered through a tropical rain forest on the island of Grenada. This forest was much different than the forests of the northeast. This was dark, wet and closed in, you could almost feel claustrophobic. The light entered as spots, as opposed to the streaming beams that I was accustomed to. The first time I saw these unusual flowers they seemed to be huddling together. Their intense red was almost startling in contrast to the surrounding shades of dark green. When l focused it looked like little people sitting in red boats. Upon closer inspection I realized the “boats” were filled with water. Well maybe they’re actually bathtubs. So I turned and left the bathers alone.
