Destination Barbados

As the Christmas season approaches the beautiful Christmas candles start to bloom across Barbados 😊 In many local gardens these are planted interspersed with Poinsettia flowers creating a magical display of red and gold that's just perfect for the Christmas season. This evergreen shrub thrives well in the Barbados climate. The plant is a good source of chrysophanic acid, which is used to treat skin disease It is also believed to have antiviral properties. Beautiful and useful!
