Tropical leaves

The bright red bracts of a tree poinsettia (Warszewiczia Coccinea) contrast with the mass of green leaves around it.

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Leaves.’ See more responses here.

This gave me an excuse to post more photos from Hawai’i Tropical Bioreserve & Garden, which is still closed at this time. For more information about Hawai’i Tropical Bioreserve & Garden, go to htbg.com.

      I do hope the world will be what passes for normal again. I try to get over to the garden three or four times a year, but this year have only been the once. It’s still closed, but I’m hoping with the return of tourists, which is now into its second week, they’ll be in line to reopen.
