From a tropical garden

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Plant Life.’ See more responses here. Since I went to Hawai’i Tropical Bioreserve & Garden a couple of weeks ago, it seems appropriate to post a few of those photos for this one.

      Those gardens are always fun to visit and I see something new every time. It’s hard to go wrong taking photos there.

    Some beautiful photos, Graham, so it must have been a a worthwhile visit. The hula skirt orchid is quite stunning; I’d love to try and grow it, but fear the conditions won’t be damp enough.

      I loved that orchid. Made me want to get one and grow it at home. Trouble is, if I put it in the ground, the pigs would demolish it.
