"Plants..."

As we walk around the Island of Tenerife, we have noticed several different types of plants.  Some that you would find in the USA as small indoor plants, we see them here as very large outdoor plants.

This is an Aloe Vera plant.  We actually snapped off a tip of the plant to make sure it was...we had trouble believing it was as big as it is!

Alisia is standing by a giant cactus.  There are a lot of cactus gardens here...they are look really beautiful!

Not sure of the name of this plant-but it is all over the island.

Now, I am 5'8" tall, I think this is some kind of palm plant-but I am not a botanist.

This plant just grows and then bends over...

A giant tree, that puts out trailers that will become roots of the tree. (I can't imagine how old this tree is!)

Finally, this is a Crown of Thorns bush.  Jesus had a Crown of Thorns places on His brow.  I have to tell you, those thorns are very sharp!

We have has a lot of fun walking and looking at the plants on the streets and in the parks.  We probably walk 4-5 miles a day just looking around.
