I posted a few pics of my recent trip to South America and Anarctica on the "Who Knew - South American Plants" thread and since there was quite a bit of interest in seeing more, I thought I'd start a new thread with a bit more descriptive title. I hope I'm not breaking the list rules by putting these in this forum.

Almost all the plants we saw were familiar to me and have a I lot of them in my gardens in Houston. Lots of impatiens, agapanthus, hibiscus, lantana, turk's cap, petunias, ixora, and bougainvilla. Of course, all this was in South America, not Antarctica. Most of what we saw as we got further south was grasses and moss, and not a lot of that.

Lots of marine life including humpback whales, minke whales, dolphins, leopard seals, fur seals, giant southern petrals, frigate birds, rheas (ostrich like bird), 5 kinds of penguins, several kinds of albatross and cormorants and on and on.

Hope you enjoy the pics.
