Ruben and I had some time off yesterday, so we headed N and NE to see the HTB Gardens a guest at the hotel had told us about. It's almost bedtime so I'm not able to finish attempting to label the few flowers I've posted here tonight...this garden is beyond incredible!! The flora and fauna were just amazing and way too many to get photos of all. This is a major "must see" on the big island...

I guess musical notes clerpdendrum and torch ginger are my favorites, Jann...they have pretty appropriate names too! Will you be returning home soon?
ReplyDeleteoops....should be an 'o' not a 'p' in clerodendrum!☺
ReplyDeleteHi Wanda...am still trying to ID the other flowers that I didn't get yet...we have been asked to stay another month but we're here at least until the end of Aug., for 3 months. Sept. would be 4 months. It's a crazy new experience for us, it started our fairly stressful and negative but we're okay now and into a routine. Hardest part is that we only get 10 hrs a week away from here. Lots of positives tho! Overall it's an amazing experience we'll be really glad we did, and we get to see Hawaii when otherwise we prob wouldn't have.
