Above: Orange Llily (possibly Lilium bulbiferum).

A simple way to tell lilies from orchids and even from irises:

* Lilies have long stamens with conspicuous pollen at the ends.
* Irises have only 3 stamens.
* Orchids have one column supporting two or more packages of pollen called pollinia.

Above: A tree warped by the constant trade winds that blow across the island from the Northeast. Jennifer and I photographed this same tree in August of 2006. She even remembered which side of the road it was on when I was having trouble locating it.

Above: Barbados Lily (Hippeastrum puniceum).

Above: Shell ginger (Alpinia zerumbet).
