An unusual possibility to see one of the most stunning and rarest flowers around the world!

Bayahibe is a port town of around 3000 citizens on the extreme southeast corner of the Dominican Republic. For years, Bayahibe existed as a fishing and farming area essentially unspotted by vacationers. Nevertheless, in the last years or so, vacationers are more and more drawn to this enchanting seaside town. This is specifically true for vacationers looking for a much more real encounter compared to the all-inclusive resort scene. Bayahibe has much to show for to the tourist, boosting tourist attractions that have actually not been totally uncovered yet, at least not by the masses.

One tourist attraction of Bayahibe is the rare opportunity to see one of the most lovely and rarest flowers on the planet! This vividly pink floral belongs to a cactus variety that is now noted as seriously endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The scientific name is Pereskia quisqueyana and there is a little grove of 17 Pereskia quisqueyana "trees" behind the regional college. This cactus generally flowers from April through September.

I wish to point out just how ultra rare this lovely cactus is now and exactly what an unusual possibility it is to see this flower. It is just found at Bayahibe and as a result has actually been nicknamed the "Bayahibe Rose." Researchers believe that the Bayahibe Rose once had much broader distribution throughout the Caribbean. The residents have actually really taken up the cause o the Bayahibe Rose and numerous have actually begun growing them in their yards. Nevertheless, the best and most regular location to see it is still at the point behind the school.
