In 2015 we hope to find
- native magnolia in bloom,
- all other species of native magnolia
- Quararibea funebris, Rosita de cacao
- Hymenaea courbaril, Guapinol, when it blooms
- Smilax species flowers (tough, as this vine flowers high in tall trees)
- and Curatella Americana in bloom, chaparal.
So far in the first five months we reached several of these goals:
we found Curatella americana in its literally last days of blooming for 2015.
A team of our two botany students found one species of magnolia in bloom, Magnolia quetzal, on a remote mountain slope.
one of our plant scouts found Guapinol near Parque Lachua, but it had mature seed pods (insides are edible). So we need to learn when it will bloom in 2016.
