The Martinique

Martinique, the Island of flowers ...

Nicknamed "Madinina" by the first Caribbean Indians, which means "the island of flowers", Martinique is still today faithful to its reputation.

More than 1,700 plant species are listed, the richest flora of all the Lesser Antilles in front of Guadeloupe and its islands. Between green canopies, bushy savannah and variegated flowerbeds, Martinique displays color.

A luxuriance in contrast that it owes to its tropical climate, whose rains amplify with altitude.

Visual and olfactory emblems of Martinique, the flowers highlight the beauty of the island and especially that of the countryside.Not a village without the end of their corollas, releasing their fragrant essences with the winds. How to imagine an exotic bouquet without a hibiscus enthroned in its center, with its large petals in bright colors.

Also bewitching, frangipani, water canes or "flaming trees" with vivid blooms complete this picture worthy of a botanical garden.
