Sitting slightly higher in elevation than the reserve of Monteverde, the Santa Elena Reserve comprises 310 ha of preserved cloud forest. The trails will take visitors on an amazing journey of discovery as they blaze your way through the hanging vines and moist vegetation. Mosses and epiphytes flourish, engulfing the numerous tree species along the trails. This unique and diverse setting requires an incredible amount of moisture to sustain its thriving, lush habitats. Trade winds rise up the steep majestic slopes of the Continental divide, blanketing the entire area in thick clouds and a ubiquitous supply of moisture and humidity.

The Széchenyi Chain Bridge (Lánchíd) is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. It was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Budapest, and was opened in 1849. It is anchored on the Buda side to Adam Clark Square, and the lower end of the Castle Hill Funicular, leading to Buda Castle.

Buda Castle (Budavári Palota) is the historical castle and palace complex of the Hungarian kings in Budapest, first completed in 1265. In the past, it was also called Royal Palace (Királyi-palota) and Royal Castle (Királyi Vár). Buda Castle was built on the southern tip of Castle Hill, bounded on the north by what is known as the Castle District (Várnegyed), famous for its Medieval, Baroque, and 19th-century houses, churches, and public buildings. The castle is part of the Budapest World Heritage Site, declared in 1987. Source: Wikipedia.

|kris| posted a photo:

Rhoeo is a short-stemmed tender foliage plant which makes attractive small, dense, clumping rosettes. It forms a solid groundcover of upright purple and green leaves. The 15cm to 20cm long, sword-shaped leaves are green above and purplish below. The unusual flowers, borne down among the leaves, appear as clusters of tiny white flowers nestled within two boatshaped, purplish bracts. They are not noticeable unless you look closely.

Also known as Moses in the Bulrushes, Moses in the Boat, Moses in the Cradle, and Mozes-in-het-rieten-mandje. Various other scientific names too: Rhoeo bermudensis, Rhoeo spathacea nana, Rhoeo discolor and Tradescantia discolor.
