Heliconia flower - closed PR 191 road
These were found in the closed PR 191 road, about an hour down the road, after the gate in the top
of El Yunque road. We document here and in other photos this amazing road - over 2.5 hours long.
It crosses a good part of the forest and we have no traffic to disturb us. The forest is reclaiming
this section of PR-191 created by a huge landslide in the 1970's. The other side is the Rio Sabana park
and is accessible via Naguabo PR 191. It is ideal for walking and picnics.
Heliconias are tropical plants related to bananas and gingers. There are about 100 different individual species.
The actual heliconia flower is fairly insignificant. What most people would call the 'flower' is actually a group
of colourful specialised leaves, called bracts. The true flowers are hidden inside these bracts.
Heliconia leaves look more or less like banana leaves. They are generally green, but some are tinged.
Thy are common in PR for decoration in gardens.
History:
El Yunque, officially named 'El Yunque National Forest'
(EYNF) is located in northeastern Puerto Rico.
It is the only tropical rainforest in the US National
Park System (NPS) and is managed by the US Forest Service.
It covers a surface of 28,430 acres (115 km2).
It is the largest forest in Puerto Rico.
EYNF was stablished in 1903 by the beginning USFS,
but initially it was set aside in 1876 by King Alfonso XII
of Spain and represents one of the oldest reserves in the
Western Hemisphere. Before that it was revered by the
Taino Indians as a Holy land as 'Yuke'or white land.
Canvas Prints:
We 1st used Canon cameras, then Nikon 24MP cameras
at maximum resolution. We covered all roads and trails
of the forest and some deep regions in over 40 days of
explorations of the forest and collected over 10K images.
In 2019 we started using the Nikon D850 with 45MP.
Many of our canvas prints have dates, this is because their
purpose was to be a scientific record of the EYNF at that
place and time. Now that Hurricane Maria has decimated
the forest, it remains a record of how EYNF was after
the natural growth with no major hurricanes in 100 years.
