Monkey see, Monkey do.

Here's a picture of Nature up close and personal.  My daughter caught this picture of howler monkeys in the jungle on the other side of the fence from our hotel in Costa Rica.  The band would routinely wake us up at 5 am with their calls.  They are arboreal and stayed in the trees on their side of the fence as our side was cleared but they came so close to us for wild animals.  This trip was a wonder from start to finish.

I now have Tiny Tim tomatoes sprouting in my sunroom window.  I hope to get one or two to grow larger for the Boston Flower Show in March. I am planting some other things as well for this purpose. My orchids are getting closer to bloom time and my Sansevieria cylindrica is still in full bloom.  I will get some pictures tomorrow and post them. Nothing yet on the bougainvillea but nice green leaves.  I saw huge ones the same color as mine in CR.
