Coffee Bean: (Coffea Arabica) the bean is the seed of the coffee plant, (the pit inside of the red bean), and is a member of the Rubiaceae botanical family. There are more than 25 major species, all indigenous to Africa and islands in the Indian Ocean, (e.g. Madagascar). Arabica accounts for over 70 percent of the world coffee bean production. The blossoms of the coffee plant open at night, filling the air with a strong jasmine fragrance.

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.
