Panama's change of seasons photo by Eric Jackson Notice how the grass is partly brown and partly green? This picture was taken shortly after the year's first substantial rains, which began to change the grass from dry season brown to rainy season green. And what about the other colors? Panama has but two seasons, rainy and dry, the former longer. The heaviest of the rains won't start until October or so, and will continue through sometime in December if this is a normal year. But the notion that rains mean flowers blooming and trees putting out leaves while dry season is when leaves fall and the land loses its color is wrong. Here different plants have different cycles, and while many trees do lose their leaves in the dry season, there are others that do this at various points in the rainy season, and similarly there are many different flowering cycles here. It all means that in Panama there's always something in bloom. But yes, we do turn a deeper overall shade of green once the rains come.
