One of my 1st jobs other than working for the parents was teaching school in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.
Not out of my wild child days, I thought all the flowers and such were beautiful but had no interest in them other than 'pretty'. So now I'm in Texas, gardening, and see that a plant that is very common here (altho I don't have one) is the official tree of the US Virgin Islands. I'll take your word for that. And I'll also take your word for it being a tree. After all, living down there I had a poinsettia tree outside my door.
