Caño Cristales is a Colombian river commonly called the "River of Five Colors"
The water is crystal clear due to lack of nutrients and particles, the colours are produced by aquatic plants on the river bed which are called Macarenia clavigera.

The British flower & plants sector is in a serious crisis! Far greater support needed, from financial assistance, better access to CBILS and reopening routes to market 🌷
