Yes mangroves are interesting aren't they. And thank you, yes, I am definitely on the mend now. Hope to be up and about and back to normal (whatever that is) tomorrow.
Fabulous blog and so interesting to understand more about mangroves. I recently watched 'The Island with Bear Grylls' - admittedly a programme about survival not plant-life - and the mangroves on the island in question are mere obstacles to be overcome seemingly providing nothing of 'value' so it was timely to learn of their importance for our ecosystem. Looking at the photo of the Nipo Palm you provided, my first instinct would have been to assume it was the victim of recent flooding rather than one which was native to its environment. Good to hear you are recovering from your illness, too.

Very informative and interesting. Glad to hear you're recovering from such a nasty feverish sickness
