In Hawaii, plants grow year-round so there is no ‘spring’ where the first new growth sprouts from the ground. But there are still seasons, times when certain plants come into bloom and then seed. This is one of several reasons why I like revisiting Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, north of Hilo. There’s always something new to see by visiting at different times of year.
On my most recent visit, I found this orchid, Zygonisia Cynosure ‘Blue Birds,’ blooming. It is, apparently, about as close as it gets to a blue orchid. It does have a certain ethereal quality about it.

Pingback: Growth – Olivia – What's (in) the picture?
The second picture seems to be upside down.

Not upside down. It’s taken from somewhat below the plant so what you’re seeing is the same shot in both photos, but from different elevations.

I could not figure that out. The color is unreal regardless!
