I don’t know what kind of palm this is, so I don’t know if this is what the trunk is supposed to look like or if this is something growing on it. I’ve been digging around on the internet, but haven’t found the answer yet. Any ideas?

Purple orchid
I sometimes think orchids don’t look real but, to use a line from Seinfeld, they’re real and they’re spectacular!
Three anthuriums
Ok, so there are actually several more anthuriums in the photo, but I liked how these three looked like they were dancing with each other.
It’s a miracle
Every time I visit Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve and Garden, I see something new. On my last visit, one of new things I saw was this Miracle Fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum). The plant hails from tropical Africa. It gets its name from its berry. Without getting into too much chemistry, if this berry is eaten, sour foods eaten after it will taste sweet!
There were no berries on this plant, but perhaps I’ll see them next time I visit. Perhaps I’ll nick one and see how this works!
The Numbers Game #7
The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 128. You can see more responses here.
Bat Plant
Bat Plant (Tacca nivea) gets its name from its appearance, large white petals above dark flowers and long bracts, which look like a bat face. I love the plant and the name!
Dusky pink orchid
Another orchid from Hawai’i Tropical Bioreserve & Garden, which unfortunately I don’t know the name of. For more information about Hawai’i Tropical Bioreserve & Garden, go to htbg.com.
Mini Snowflake Orchid
I saw this delicate little orchid at Hawai’i Tropical Bioreserve & Garden and thought it was well named.
