Spoon Island was given this name because of the nature of its
size.
Many have commented on the island's shape.
The island landscape is a perpetual flower show. Hedges of hibiscus
bloom everywhere. Shower trees shed their blossoms along the paths.
Bougainvillea
vines, night blooming cereus, and ginger plants make the island a
paradise
of luxuriant blossoms. There are more than 2,000 species of
flowering
plants and trees on the island. The island is also composed of many
uninhabited
rocky islets and coral reefs, streams, hot springs,
plateaus

The mild temperature of the island is matched by dependable patterns

altitude and are governed by the trade winds.
When Ann Bounty
pays
her mother a visit, these are some of the things she loves to do.
Visit the plantation. One of the many entrance
ways.
Sitting and staring off at the endless blue water of the ocean.
Climbing a tree, searching for food. Perhaps tossing a coconut or two.
Spend time at the cabin.
She loves to walk to the spring, and enjoy the quiet just sitting.
Spoon Island always is a nice place to visit, with many things to do and see, no matter how many times you may be there, each time is a brand new experience.
I look forward to your comments.
