I seem to equate those lovely sexy costumes with flowers and butteflies. The most stunning for me from your post however, is the variegated banana. Do you think it is bred in Hawaii? You might have some details of this variety, thank you.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413996043953201770.post-89066744799176379682010-02-26T08:22:53.985-10:002010-02-26T08:22:53.985-10:00Of course I absolutely love the bromeliads, and it...Of course I absolutely love the bromeliads, and its nice to see photos of those plants I'm notused to seeing good photos of.

The ginger's pearl earrings, the bromeliads climbing up the tree trunk, and the first hibiscus pictured were all highlights for me. But if I lived in Hawaii, I'd have to have a yellow-flowered vireya. How perfect those blooms!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413996043953201770.post-88642716415699065652010-02-22T17:47:03.781-10:002010-02-22T17:47:03.781-10:00What a beautiful day you had.

I have grown the variegated form for years, and for some reason, I've never been inclined to photograph them. But there will be plenty of shots next time they bloom! Your crinum photo reminds me of the 'Ellen Bosanquet' that grows in my garden and all over Central Florida.Floridagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357453320897720393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413996043953201770.post-27772328788512005012010-02-21T12:20:43.169-10:002010-02-21T12:20:43.169-10:00Excellent photos.

That buttercup tree has to be my favorite. It is so beautiful. Someday I hope to visit the big island. I've heard so much about it. I once read a book that talked of the black volcanic sand of Hawaii. Do you have a post on it by change? I'd love to see it. <br /><br />I never thought of Hawaii as being in a drought. Your water catchment system is pretty unique. I hope you get lots of rain and the weather patterns get back to normal and bring you more liquid gold. We've had a drought here for a few years and I know how much rain means to us all now so I truly hope it comes your way!tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413996043953201770.post-52069486224444212002010-02-21T11:43:52.955-10:002010-02-21T11:43:52.955-10:00What fabulous photos!
