Torch Ginger (Etlingera elatior)
Was in PR for a few days and spent a morning in my father-in-law’s house in Juncos. He asked me to collect two flowers from his yard to give to his daughter (my wife). With a small machete in hand I collected two Torch Ginger flowers that stood about 3 feet tall amongst many others. These flowers were the size of a football and weighed roughly 4 lbs because they held so much water. The plastic like petals felt like the wax lips you would buy in the local candy store as a kid. I’ve only seen these flowers in El Yunque, but to see these in my wife’s father’s backyard and about twice the size of what I’ve seen before was a surprise and a real enjoyment for the nature geek in me.

Oregon Fire Lines
August 19th, 2010 | By admin in Environment | Comments OffIf you spend any amount of time in the California Wilderness and it’s mountains you are aware of the fragile system that can be destroyed by a spark or some mishandling of fire. There was a moment (and still at times) I’ve wanted to be a part of the fire crews that set out to protect the forests. VBS highlights the Oregon Fire Workers that cut firelines and battle flames in our woods.
