Almond: (Amygdalus communis) Part of the Rosaceae botanical family, Almand has many biblical references. It's meat and oil have been known long before Christianity was born. The Almond tree produces fragrant pink flowers before its leaves. The almonds are actually the seeds contained within the shells.

High in the mountainous temperate Rainforest of Trinidad is the Asa Wright Nature Centre. Here a visitor can see the fauna and flora of the Rainforest up close and enjoy tea on the long wooden veranda of the age-old Victorian mansion. For one week in January, 2007, Christine attended a workshop where she had the opportunity to study the plants and tropical birds of the temperate Rainforest. The renderings that resulted from that experience can be viewed here and captured within the artist's book: Come With Me to the Rainforest of Trinidad.
