Dr Rick's plants for the Galapagos Islands. Inspired by And 1 and the Galapagos flora.Mangrove, arid and transition zone plants.
Four combined ztds, each containing a number of plants:
Mangrove
3 Red Mangroves - nice prop roots
2 Black Mangroves - pneumatophores - breathing roots
1 White Mangrove and 1 Button Mangrove - prefer slightly drier positions
Cacti
2 Giant Opuntias (Prickly Pears) from the arid zone of Islands with large herbivores like tortoise
1 Small Opuntia - non-prickly - from the arid zone of Islands with no large herbivores
3 Lava Cacti which live on the black, brown and grey lava
2 Candelabra cacti found with other arid zone plants
Arid Zone - this is the low altitude dry ragion immediately behaind the Mangrove swamps.
Lots of Palo Santos plants - two without grassy base, the rest with a grassy base in yellow (dry season), yellow-green (normal wet season) and green (el-nino years when there is far more rain), each with matching tall grass, thin grass and fern. Palo Santos are deciduous, so most are without leaves, but some have leaves, and some are losing their leaves after the monsoon.
There are also an assortment of other trees and shrubs characteristic of the arid zone.
Transition Zone - this has more rain and so there are evergreen trees and shrubs including two relatives of the Guava, the pega pega and the guayabillo. In addition there is a native juicy red tomato, incredibly salt-tolerant, but unfortunately poisonous!
Enjoy!
