To learn more about the beautiful and diverse flora of Belize, we visited to the Belize Botanic Gardens. Here we became acquainted with a variety of plant and trees, like the gumbolimbo, also know as the tourist tree because of its red peeling bark when it is exposed to the sun. We learned about the ylang-ylang, known as the Chanel No. 5 tree for its flowers that emit a frangrance used in making in perfume. And then there is the shampoo ginger. When the plant is squeezed it produces a thick sweet liquid that is a natural hair conditioner. We learned so much and had a great time getting the meet the Mayan tour guides that took us around the beautiful gardens. Pictured below is the group on the fire tower and a black orchid, the national flower of Belize.
