Seven Arches Museum

The Courtyard This quaint little courtyard offers a cool and relaxing break from the hot tropical sun.  Whether you choose the sit beneath an umbrella while enjoying a cocktail or under one of the beautiful bouganvilla trees makes little difference.  The courtyard offers a little bit of paradise while in paradise.  The welcoming arms staircase leads upstairs and to an excellent view of the town and harbor below.	Local Flower This is just one of at least 15 different types of flowers and plants that are constantly in bloom year-round throught the garden.  These flowers attract all types of birds as well as butterflies and friendly little lizards.  It is not unusual for an iguana or two to also pay the house a visit.  In the late afternoons a red tailed "chicken hawk" also likes to stop by for a while.
Bird Feeder There is no larger congregation of "yellow breasts" or banana quits to be found any where on the island.  Attracted to Seven Arche's bird bath and bird feeder filled with sugary-water hundreds of these besutifully little birds visit the house every day.	National Flower of the V.I. This beautiful yellow cedar flower can also be used to catch local honey bees.  As the bee enters the flower to drink nectar or water, local islanders simply pinch the flower's petals closed to capture the bee.  The flower itself then serves as a convenient vessle for transporting the bee to wherever you you need to take it without ever getting stung or harming the bee in any way.
Banana Quit aka Yellow Breast The Banana Quit or "Yellow Breast" is the national bird of the Virgin Islands.  Other birds that regularly visit the house on a daily basis are sparrows, thrushes, egrets, hawks, hummingbirds and doves just to name a few.	Bouganvilla Tree If you look closely you can see almost a hundred little "yellow breasts" all throughout this bouganvilla tree.
