flowers

This plant looks like Hyacinth, I did not  know hyacinth had flowers though... I guess  you learn something new every day.

The Island in the Lake

This is an Island in Lake Victoria.  In the foreground you can see invading hyacinth plants being blown into the bay.  

This is the shoreline of lake Victoria.  The green you see floating in is a water plant known as hyacinth,  it is an incredibly hard plant to get rid of.  If you put one of these little things in your bathtub, you won't find your tub in less than two weeks.  It grows at astounding rates, at times the whole harbor in front of Kisumu is covered by a lush carpet of green.
