The Philippines is blessed with a very high biodiversity, including the plants living in its remaining forest cover. Trees alone comprise about 3500 species. Just to research on a species a day would take about 10 years to finish all of just the trees. Then there are still the shrubs, herbs, ferns etc. Through this blog we hope to introduce you to some important plants in the forest before they completely disappear because of habitat destruction.

A Bright Spot in the Dry and Hot
The dry season did not hinder the Palawan cherries to bloom. Though they are not that profuse as the previous year, some trees in Manila Seedling Bank did manage to bring out their floral displays. Check them out while they are still in flower.
