Colors of the Caribbean

Today I am bringing you the vibrant colors of the Caribbean by way of cloth patterns influenced by the culture here and lush, tropical vegetation. I am fascinated with plants (just like my momma) and have captured just a few photos of some of the beautiful plants of St. Kitts. Sure, back home we have some of these in our yards, but here they stay beautiful and in bloom year round.

The first photos are of the colorful material that the Kittitian women use to make clothing, pillows, purses, etc. Sooo priddy.
