This month we are featuring the Pink Trio! These three pink plants are some of the most colorful plants on the grounds, and they are all quite different. See if you can identify them in the Silver Sand's lush gardens.
If you are interested in doing a day trip to see more of Cayman's natural flora and fauna and get informed on Cayman's natural vegetation, check out the Queen Elizabeth Botanical Gardens. It is located about half way up Frank Sound road, about a 40 minute drive from Silver Sands, and is a great day trip for the whole family!
Desert Rose: This beautiful plant can be found at the pool in 2 different pots. It is a gorgeous and hearty succulent plant that thrives in direct sunlight, and adds a bright splash of color to our Caribbean blues and garden greens.
Bougainvillea: This traditional tropical bush is very common all around the islands and is a garden favorite for its brightly colored petals. It is also easy to manage and care for and can be grown into a tall bush, small shrub, trained to climb up a trellis and even put into a small pot. The plant is not only pink but yellow, orange, white and more! See if you can pick it out of the Silver Sands grounds.
Oleander: This stunning plant can grow from 6-12 feet tall and wide and is a great garden filler due to its love for warm weather and sunlight. Be careful tho! These enticing blooms might be beautiful but the plant is poisonous to humans and animals if ingested.
