Watch out for the bright yellow trumpet flowers of the allamanda vines that scramble down walls. Blue cascades of morning glory are common, although gardeners aren't too keen on them. If allowed, morning glory takes over. Should you explore in the evening during the summer months, you might be lucky enough to see the night-blooming cereus, which has exquisite, white flowers that come out one hour after sunset and smell of vanilla ice cream. By morning, the flowers are shriveled.
Hedges also incorporate a huge variety of grasses and ferns.
These have a more subtle beauty and perhaps can best be appreciated first thing in the morning, when drops of dew touched with sunlight hang from the feathered grasses. Asparagus fern, so useful for wedding decorations, looks even spikier and greener in the early morning light. Wildflowers are also part of the m lange. The trees we describe in this section can easily be seen on the roadsides. However, check the Bermudian Gardens section below for more information about some of our exotic and ornamental trees.
