BOURET HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY PRESENTS THE BOTANICAL INVENTORY FOR MARCH 2009

I KNOW, some fans may wonder the need of all these botanical names. To them I write, try to solve any problem without it. The most complete inventory in endemismo so far, but like that
cathedral started by Gaudi, it will remain unfinished because there are still unidentified plants at home. When one collects from the field, wild sources, seeds,
stems, or from friends and relatives with interest in horticulture is not easy. There are not many worth buying books on the subject, except those by Miner, who has four or five books in related subjects on Puerto Rico's flora in libraries.\\

One issue worth mentioning Is that some plants are considered weeds, around five
of my favorite climbers are wild, hard to find in reference books.. Further down the
road in will publish some photos, not being a photographer, it requires some planning. On the other hand there are too many blogs on this subject about photography in a what seems to me a vacuum. The picture is all, often without ID.

INTERMISSION

Yesterday while talking a walk in what is known as The Golden Mile, for the aglomeration
of money laundering institutions (banks/mortgage originators/and else) could not help but
noticing the uneven, cracked, sidewalks. It is a trip watching the elegant ladies mostly office
workers trying to keep the balance in such pathetic conditions. I declare right know that
highways, roads and sidewalks in the Metro Area in San Juan are pretty similar to those in
Bagdhad in aesthetics or physical condition.
