Hi Jackie:

There are cotton plans on Rendezvous Bay between the Anguilla Great House and Rendezvous Bay Hotel.

Thanks for another interesting article.

Yes indeed there are. Perhaps that is why so many species nest in that area. Thank you Ellen.

I always keep my eye out when on the island. The Sandy Ground patch-is that at the end of the road around the north side of the salt pond? That's the only place I've seen them in numbers. We used to see a solitary plant on the road to Nat's Place, and once at the edge of the salt pond on Rendezvous Bay. Colville Petty once corrected me when I made a reference to "Sea Island cotton," which actually descended from seeds from Anguilla or thereabouts.

Yes the same patch Roger. Sandy Ground has many plants on the beach side as well.
