Where you are standing on top of the lookout behind you is a brown dead grass area near the water (18:59), back in the 70s there used to be 3 or 4 apartment style complexes maybe 3 stories high. The Vietnamese refugees over maybe one thousand were housed there for a few months before they were brought to the US Mainland. They were so loud you could hear them while driving on Marine Corps Drive.
Matt that is Papaya tree with fruits. The green fruits we use for cooking Filipino dishes. I’m watching this late. Just came back from Bohol and Siquijor. If you haven’t been? They’re beautiful islands. I love Siquijor! Guam is on my bucket list. All in God’s will. Hope to see more videos from you.
hi Matt.the red flowers are called Hibiscus. they are very common in Malaysia. they grow well in tropical countries. some news from the internet say that you can boil them and drink the water as a kind of tea that has nutritional value.
Brown tree snakes=Less birds=more bugs/butterflies. Im surprised to see a papaya tree there. Possibly seeded by bird droppings since nobody lives there. Thats how many plants, fruit trees and boonie peppers were seeded through the island when there were birds. They ate fruit and pooped out the seeds elsewhere.
Been to Guam in the 1970s. Came back to California after 10 yrs. Thank you for sharing your experiences and honest observations.
Of course :)
Guam is very laid-back in my opinion.
I agree! It does feel that way
Your appreciation of my island home is adorable. Thank you for sharing, handsome!

Wow that's cool! I bet that's what many past generations did here hundreds of years ago. Thanks for the info
Also, in the Mariana islands the half flower is also known as island visine. On Guam we use as medicine to clear and re-wet dry eyes.
That's very interesting!
Nanåsu🎉
That bright red flower is called Gumamela in the Philippines.
Interesting! Hello Philippines!
Indian mulberry is known as "Noni" in Polynesia. We call it "Ladda" here
Oh cool! Hello Polynesia!

Ahhh definitely and the typhoon actually spread a lot as well. But birds are big contributors in seed dispersal of course
It is a papaya tree.
Thanks for adding the info. I wasn't sure but thought so 😝
