Around this time 10 years ago I was making final arrangements to move to the Azores. I had almost no idea what awaited me on the island that would become my home for more than 9 years. Perhaps one of the most pleasant surprises was that the lush volcanic islands look like a small version of New Zealand. Almost all plants grow well in the Azores, and the endemic species of ferns and Pōhutakawa are no exception. São Miguel Island, often referred to as the Green Island was like a home away from home.
