There's an impressive botanical garden here, owned by a British couple with apparently unlimited energy.  They've managed to pave winding trails around the hills of a 20 acre site, and cover the whole place with exotic plants.  All the tropical Greatest Hits:  gingers, palms, heleconias, orchids.  Figs- insects love figs.  Nutmeg.  Papayas.  A small vanilla plantation.  We joined our friends Vern and Michelle, and trailed after a large Panamanian family all dressed in the latest resort fashion.  They were at least as interesting as the plants.
