Those who live on the West Coast often think of Bermuda as a Caribbean Island, when in fact this British territory is in the North Atlantic Ocean east of North Carolina by approximately 640 miles.
The capital city is Hamilton, discovered in 1505 by Spanish navigator Juan de Bermudez, after whom the islands were named. Unoccupied, the island was settled by England in 1609, making it the oldest remaining British overseas territory. Its first capital, St. George, was established in 1612 and is the oldest continuously inhabited English town in the Americas.

One of the botanical expeditions I have dreamed about at some length would take me to Madeira and the Canary Islands.
These islands are situated in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Africa. They are home to many plants that are observed in Valley gardens and others that would be suitable for growth in our corner of the globe.
