I love these flowers.  They just started blooming on Saturday 28 May.  We have been getting some rain and a lot of plants are blooming and growing.  It has the most unusual flower and it is beautiful. 

This is Shaka, he takes care of the grounds in our compound.  Brent gave him some money last week and he bought some coconut palms to plant around the office.  We won't be here to see any coconuts on them, but someone will.  Shaka speaks very little English, just Krio so Ali does the translating for Brent.  Shaka knows a lot about plants and is a very hard worker.  He is even saving some of his money, which is very unusual in this country.  He is the happiest young man, always smiling.
