Ginger lily at Montana de Fuego hotel near La Fortuna, Costa Rica. Ginger lilies grow in tropical and subtropical climates. They are native to Asia and the Pacific but are frequently planted as ornamentals because of their colorful, showy flowers. They grow from large rhizomes. The flowers grown on long racemes and the structure of the stem consists of closely folded blades. AxMG_1986

City square at La Fortuna with a view of the church and the fog covered 5,437 foot high Arenal volcano. Really, it's right behind the church. On a clear day, I would have had a great photo. Arenal last erupted in 1968, killing 100 people. It continues to sputter and flame - or at least so I am told. AxMG_1965
