I' m glad you liked the photos, Nhu and Jim. This colony goes on for about 2 klms and especially the plants on the other end ( where the beach is very narrow) are practically growing in the sea, where the waves end. I' try to get some more pictures. It's a good thing that just a few people use this beach. regards, Antigoni Απο: James Waddick <jwaddick@kc.rr.com> Προς: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Στάλθηκε: 7:41 μ.μ.
