I don’t think I’ve seen this here before, but perhaps I’ve just been looking in the wrong places.

Beautiful rose, Graham! Where did you take this? Is there a dry zone on the BI?

Taken in Kailua Kona. The west side of the island is the dry side with Kawaihae getting just 10″ of rain annually. South of Kailua Kona it’s a bit wetter with the wet season being in the summer!

I forget about the Kona side. Makes sense!
