My first afternoon at Xandari was mostly in the rain, but I managed get these close-ups of a few of their many flowers plus a toucan and a butterfly which I will share later. For now enjoy the beautiful art of flowers! CLICK image to enlarge . . .

Some of the best gardens I’ve visited and you can meet one of the gardeners in this video:
¡Pura Vida!
Charlie, I found the metal sculptor. Thanks for the tip!
¡Con gusto! The work is very creative!
Now I’m enjoying a total immersion in nature at Xandari Resort, Alajuela – one of my favorite hotels! And they also display lots of creative art.
